I will replace the hoses this weekend. If the hose swap doesn't work, I will swap the calipers to see if the pull changes sides. Thanks for all the feedback

Hi Joe, The NAPA part numbers are PR86324R and PR86324L for the slotted/drilled rotors. I paid about $110 a each. They quoted a price of $151. 29 each. They have been great, with better pedal feel and have not warped! I'm sure I will go through pads faster, but for me, it was worth the extra...

Try stepping on the right side of the pedal. In response to PRattenbury comment above... Leaning to the right while braking doesn't work either but feels better.

I have thought of that as well, the dealer cost for a new hose is about $110. Ouch.

I just replaced the right rear seal and installed new shoes, new seal and new bearings. Cha Ching. I thought that I had it figured out at last. The new shoes, did not help.

I have a stock 99 2500 LB Quad Cab. The truck has been pulling to the left when the brake is applied for the last 15K miles. The truck has 83K miles on it. The truck is turning into a democrat, while it's owner has other views. Help my truck change it's ways... . ! When you look at the left...

Shock Mounts Loose? My 99 had the right front shock mount where it attaches to the axel was loose. The through hole for the shock absorber bolt in the axel is quite large relative to the bolt. If the bolt comes loose, you can feel it with your foot on the forward left portion of the floor...

It was the Speed Sensor! Good news and bad news, The new speed sensor fixed the transmission, the bad news was the old one had a bunch of metal filings on it, thus decreasing the signal it could send to the PCM. I will start saving! Do you know of anyone installing a separate, oil cooler...

Zstroken, I removed the transmission control relay and was able to shift from N to 1st to 2nd to D without problem. I will be installing the transmission speed sensor tonight. If that does not work, I hate to say this, go to the dealer for diagnosis.

Zstroken, Thanks for saving me $280. I was going to pick up a new scanner. I borrowed a friends older scanner last night. I bought a transmission speed sensor today and will install it tomorrow night. I also crawled underneath a 2001 truck at the dealership and noted a different spring...

Rammin On, How can I check the speed sensor functionality with a scanner?

I scanned the PCM and ECM with no codes noted. When I tried the Neutral to 1st, 1st-2nd, and 2nd to D, the transmission remained in 1st gear. I will measure the resistance of the speed sensor tonight. Also, I will look at the throttle control cable.

I will pick up a DRB tonight and look for hidden transmission codes. I have not seen the MIL light up. I will also try the Neutral to 1st-2nd-3rd test as well. I hope for the transmission speed sensor, I have already replaced the differential speed sensor. According to the manual, the transmission...

Removed the Relay, 3rd gear only zstroken, Took your advice and removed the transmission relay. I do have power to the relay. Also, the truck had reverse and 3rd gear only. Any new ideas? I put the relay back in and restarted. It had 1st gear only. I do not hear or feel the shift from 1st to 2nd.

I will look into the Relay issue this afternoon. My max speed is about 25mph with the selector in D. I will post the test results tomorrow. Thanks for the fast response!
