Looking for rear parking brake parts and backing plates. Willing to grab whole rear axle as I need a lot of those parts as well. Located in Norfolk VA and willing to travel a long way.
This happened to me in my Isuzu trooper and it was the positive battery cable being a little loose on the starter. It would short under heavy throttle. Took me a while to find the intermittent problem.
I am guessing that the new lines and maybe your new calipers had some metal dust from manufacturing. I would flush the brakes again and I wouldn't be too worried unless it keeps happening or there is a change in braking performance.
very common for some light steam to be coming out of the exhaust during warm up. I know a few people who thought they had a blown head gasket but had miuch smaller issues
It sounds like heat soak. When an engine is shut off the temperature spikes for a short time until all the stored up heat in the engine that would be transferred to the coolant is used. Do you know if someone has done the resistor mod on the temperate gauge? This would make the gauge way more...
I went through a lot of trouble trying to follow the fsm and it ended up that the pre-load was perfect when I re-used the old shims it was almost perfect.
