Brake Caliper

I have a 1986 Dodge Ram truck. Can a brake caliper be rebuilt or how can I get it to work without rebuilding it?

I think a lot of small places have stopped rebuilding brake cylinder/calipers because of the liability associated with it. When I had caliper problems a few years ago (1991 Dodge Ram) I was offered the choice of new ones or rebuilt ones. They send them in to a manufacturer just like water pumps, carburetors, etc.

99 silverado dies out

D

dcalthetiger on Jan 04, 2006

my 99 silverado dies out when youare going down the road for no apparent reason. I have a 6.0 engine with about 68000 miles on it. It looks as if it shuts down momentarily and then you can crank it right up. I had the fuel filter and the fuel pump replaced about 10000 miles ago. Would appreciate any help on this matter. Thanks :wall:

Buick Fuel Problem?

G

gmcladee on Jan 08, 2006

My Mother in Law has a 2000 Buick Lasabre (top of the line) less than 80,000km when it sits for more than a day it is very hard to start. It rolls over and wants to go but seems like it is starved for fuel. We never give it the gas pedal when starting.[B] If [/B] it was carburated i would say the bowl was empting. It had a full recent tune-up by the dealer less than 4 months ago, we are thinking it may be a bad injector or something, and boy when it does start does it ever stink, any ideas?
