    Interesting reply. Please post up your experience with failure and what motor/ motors it was. Or any first hand knowledge you have on failing motors. Could be very helpful in my search.

    Finally happened Toasted a T-motor $$$

    I’ve got all that stuff with my Garmin Force on my Crestliner. I expected to pay a good amount for that. But never expected that a basic semi affordable heavy duty bow mount T motor was nonexistent. As far as a nap😁. With my networked Garmin I can sit at the console punch in a way point on...

    Finally happened Toasted a T-motor $$$

    Smoked my 80 pound terrova on my electric motor only lake boat yesterday. Burned up everything, armature, most of the wires. Motor owed me nothing. It was At least 15 years old and was used hard every time out. Cant even buy a basic motor & foot pedal 80 pound replacement now days. They all have...

    Brake woes

    Brian you win. Turns out the caliper was no good. That’s two brand new ( remanufactured) calipers from Auto Zone. Technically you could say three because I had the shop replace both sides with OEM while they were at it. That’ll teach me to buy cheap parts. Always a crap shoot. Never again.

    Brake woes

    In the ten years leading up to my retirement I saw a steady decline in work ethic in the workplace. Some had to do with policies put in place at my place of employment. Won’t say more at risk of conversation becoming political.

    Not only lack of talent, add lack of work ethic.

    Brake woes

    How true. My current truck has the 6 liter. A motor with a good reputation and doesn’t have the active fuel management that was supposed to be the great thing on the 5.3. I don’t know much about the 6.6 that comes on the new 2500 series trucks.

    Brake woes

    For sure, like I said the calipers and clips are brand new. The best price I could find for a truck that checks enough boxes for me is just shy of 52.000 and it’s 5 hours away. But considering a better equipped model runs up to 80.000.

    Brake woes

    I hear ya about the bearings, I checked for play and didn’t seem to be any. It’s in the shop now $$$. Wife said to me last night “ Truck is ten years old you should get a new one” Very tempting, but I really like my truck. Only 81000 on the clock.

    Brake woes

    My initial thought, that’s why I took the brand new caliper back and exchanged it for another new one. But yeah wouldn’t surprise me if they both are bad. Truck goes into shop tomorrow. Not having it is putting a damper on my boating/ fishing.

    Brake woes

    Did new pads on all four corners on my 2015 Chevy 2500. Also replaced rear rotors due to a little rust build up on inside. Front rotors in nice condition. After install noticed the left front was getting hot. Went ahead and replaced both front calipers, no change. Went ahead and replaced brake...

    Oh boy, actually might be better with Roger’s for the time being. Sanders comes with baggage, his father for one, his attitude for another and I believe it’ll be a media circus. NEVER MIND BROWNS Just now picked him.

    Nobody fishing?

    Hit the lake this afternoon for a couple hours windy as heck. Ran to the spot I wanted to fish dropped the Garmin T-motor. Much to my surprise it was acting crazy and wouldn’t respond to foot pedal or remote. Had to scramble to fire the gas motor before I got blown into the rocks. Was too close...
