Thumbs up Bird is gone - - I almost miss it.

Well, dealer finally found the problem on the Ebrake squeeling today. A clamp had broken on the stupid thing. I have listened to that squal for so long I almost miss the sound. It would never squeel when I took it in for them to find it - - today it started squeeling - - I took it straight in, no appointment and told them "I am not crazee - - listen to it." OK OK OK we believe you. Took the guy about 15 minutes to locate it. How pleasant. I will replace the other one myself when it is cool.

Silent Bob,

Are these the clamps that hold the brake to the turbo and downpipe?

Casey,
You got it. Drove me nuts on the long trip - - every long hill it would start screaming about 1/2 way down then squeel the rest of the day. I thought it was the serpentine belt - - sounded just like it. He could change the one clamp today, but the other was too hard to reach while hot. But, that is the one that fixed it. It seems to work better now, also.
Bob
