    Need help identifying 12v wire for electric choke

    Hey everyone! I am installing an electric choke on my carb and know very little about electrical. The manual that came with the choke says to connect the wire from choke to the yellow/black wire going to the wiper motor. As seen in the picture, there is a yellow and a black wire. Does this mean...

    Really tight front brakes!

    The front brakes don’t get hot at all. The passenger side wheel spins fine but the driver side has resistance. There is also a on/off rubbing noise coming from the driver side when driving. Now that I have replaced the wheels bearings, I think I can rule that one out. Possible it’s a warped rotor?

    I know it's had multiple brake jobs. Probably its original calipers.

    Really tight front brakes!

    Well everyone, thanks for all the help. I found the problem. I have my dash pulled apart for a new circuit board and LED lights so my park brake light wasn't on. That simple. I had the park brake on all the time. I hardly ever have my park brake on but since I had the front of the truck up I...

    Really tight front brakes!

    I took about a 15 minute drive with a few normal stops and maybe 4-5 hard stops. got out and felt the brakes with my hands. (Couldn't find my temp gun. I never can find stuff when I need it) The front discs were warm... that's it. Not heat warm, just not cold. The rear drums? HOT, HOT, HOT! I...

    Really tight front brakes!

    Ok so the brakes last week felt good. The pedal was a little firm but had great response. The little bumps in the pedal eventually evened out to where I hardly noticed them. Brakes worked like they should. Now they’re tight. The pedal feels fine but it feels like the pads don’t back off when I...

    Really tight front brakes!

    Didn’t mean to seem like I was giving attitude with rolling eyes. More of an embarrassment look from me because I didn’t know. Yes I know I’m inexperienced and I really do appreciate all the help you guys have given me. Fixing things is what I do best but diagnosing the problem isn’t my strong...

    Really tight front brakes!

    Yup, got everything lubed up. I used high temp brake lube. JB8 brakes? Like what’s on the diesel? If so then yes I do. The local auto store has calipers for $33-45
