Oh man! We had our first drive today after doing the brakes. What a difference! I'm gonna be honest with everyone and tell you that I should've done this probably a couple thousand miles ago based on everything I know now. I was beginning to have to compensate for the weaker brakes by using my jakes and downshifting. Don't be like me.

I'll adjust them once a year now which is about 2500 miles for us. It's a good time to check for leaks and proper function of the brake systems.

I'll feel much more confident driving through Vegas this fall!

Ha, no the brakes are for when they dip in front of me to make the last minute off ramp! And I'm in the second lane!
