Hello to all the GM forum members!.my name is Rich and I have been wrenching on vehicles for 40+ years.we own an assortment of Pontiac,Buicks and a Ford (aw,come on now,,its a nice old one, 86-f250 4x4!)I have been gleaning information here for years when I have an issue with our various gm vehicles (3),and I hope to get some thoughts on our 04 lesabre that has some brake issues in one of my next posts!thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum Rich. Feel free to post away with any questions you may have.

Welcome to the forum! Any pics of your rides? You'll get a wealth of information from the peeps here on any issues with your rides you may have.

Thank you!.no pics yet, they are just stockers, 2 of them rotten from the wonderful Michigan winter salt bath.the 04 lesabre is pretty cool looking though.I may post some of that beast.y'all probably don't want to see my ford though.

Welcome! Got pics of the Ford? I have a soft spot for those trucks. My dad has an '81 F150 that'* been in the family longer than me haha

It was cooler yesterday (sunday),I worked on the front disc brakes and put some crc disc brake quiet on the backing plates of the pads and lubed the sliders(hardware) with stalube caliper grease.(all stuff I had laying around)front squeal GONE!.next to the rear,I want to make sure to know how far to turn in the rear caliper pistons once I have taken the calipers off so I wont ruin the parking ratchet assemblies on the pistons.once I get a cube tool (never had one)I will attack this problem,hopefully it will be gone.

Oh btw, heres a pic of my "antique" Ford...86 F250 4x4 466,c-6,etc,..and our 96 bonnie,which I am sorry to say its rotten and will be going away sometime soon.
