I'm in the same boat. Back in December I pulled a redneck stunt that is still working at the moment. I took my leaves out ( except the main hanger) and did a little re-bending with my bench vise. I basically re-arched my two intermediate springs. For the overloads I used two bricks on either end and a bottle jack in the middle, lifting the front of my pickup truck. The weight rearched it just a bit. Like I said, it's redneck, but it's bought me time till refund day...

I have a p0456 code pop up. I'm gpnna do the easiest and the gas cap then check for leaks but question. Over the past few weeks my purge valve has been clicking louder than usual and faster as I accelerate. I'm use to it bein quiet and only clicking a little. Would a leak cause it to react like this or is the valve need changing

If they are 15" rims then yes. If they are 16" rims then 265/75R16 would be your equivalent size. I think they all had 15's though...

Probably a stupid question but want to be safe than sorry.

Doing pads and rotors tomorrow. Basically I will just need to remove caliper, press piston back in. For the rotors, they should just slide off (with help of BFH) after I have taken the caliper off? Anything else need to come off to get the rotors off?

Nope, you about got it. Usually the rotors come off easily. No bfh needed. Just make sure you sand and lubricate the rails the pads travel on.

Wake up early, say 6 or so. Drink a nice hot cup of coffee. Go out and get all of your tools ready, easily accessible. Then punch yourself in the face and go back to bed.

Here's my answer to someone who asked the same question last night:

Here's the reply I gave you earlier, around 4pm, less than 20 minutes after you asked today. I even quoted your other post so you knew I was talking to you.

Where is the control module that operates the front wipers and what does it look like? Mine is dying. Some days it works like it should, others days not so much.
