i said a vibration not a whine

[zukmeista]

Does it have a slip joint in the driveshaft? If it is been pulled apart and not put back in the same place it will vibrate.

[Scruffy]

Either that or input pinion bearing in the diff, does it vibrate worse on deceleration?

Spent the last week working on the braking on the truck. Hand brake works properly now. But one big thing was upgrading the 130 callipers to the larger 130, 4pots what a big difference that has made. Stops on a dial now.

[Mattman]

They are great calipers.

[vvilly]

so after fitting the larger 4 pots one of the pistons seized up. new calliper kit fitted.. even better.

Rear hand brake set up properly and new Handbrake shoes fitted.

got new front panhard bushes today too so will fit them tomorrow evening
