Thats going to be my next move. I think I'm going to pull the wheels and spray everything down with penetrant first a day or two before I actually do the job.
The only reason I didn't use the hot wrench was because when I ran out of gas last time I was to lazy to get more.
On a side note rotors were cheaper from Mopar than from the parts store by $30. I stuck with the mopar pads even though they were double the money. I figure I got 80k out of the originals.

well just filled the tank and used 27 gallons to go the 500 miles, 18.51 mpg best results ever. overhead was only off by 2 mpg. this was on a tank where the gps unit said I was moving for 8 hrs, 22 minutes, max speed 77 mph, average moving speed 55 mph....... I had to be goin slow for some reason, oh yeah, bout 30 miles on state game land "roads" amazed the gps thinks of them as roads and lists them in the turn by turn !

EDIT: the station in caldwell that is on the opposite side of Autoworks is at 3.49 today, cash only tho......

Jr, I was realy tryin to talk myself into going, couple things were holding me back, not a lot of folks goin that I know, the rut is starting, and its about 100 bux worth of fuel for a trip like this,...... I can be convinced to go if I see enough interest. If I dyno, it will be on the new set of stockers that I just got, that is if I can find a 60 amp fuse for my compressor setup, air is down..... grrrrr NO Horn :O
