Festus, you forgot to mention he picked you up from a state prison after a conjugal visit and the reason for speed was the prison break- away.

Creator, When I tow my trailer, my rig starts pulling to the right[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]Ford has replaced the rotors and brake pad[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I don't get the shakes[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img](Thank God[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]) but, I think Ford does have a problem with thier front brakes. One of the things I heard, from a mechanic that "specializes" at his own brakes shop. is Ford put out a letter to it's service centers, Telling them to hand torque the lug nuts on the trucks and not use an impact wrench. Apparently, the impact doesn't tighten the lugs evenly, and when they are under heavy braking[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]they heat up and start distorting. So, I suggest, have your friend have Ford replace or turn the rotors, put new pads on and torque the wheels down by hand. Then, see if that helps. I'm getting ready to have the dealer here do that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] My warranty is up in 14,000 miles and I want new brakes[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] at Ford's expense[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Being I couldn't see 1/2 the time cause of the d*mn fog, I'll ride it again before I pass judgement completely. It's not my type of riding. Reminds me of the closed down "Hart Park" in Bakersfield which I hated. Too many of those single tracks cross the main trails. One guy ate it between me and another guy (Rob on the YFZ) when he stopped for me crossing on the main trail.

Hollister getting side swiped on a trail is less likely, unless you're in the Adobe Section and some a&& hat is riding where he isn't supposed to be riding. I'm not into hill climbing. Have a fear of going over backwards. But steep trails, I like Miami. You take it slow, but you work the bike. Clutch, brakes, etc. Though you can open it up on the roads or a few trails.
