Some of the programmers have multiple settings for towing, power, or mpgs.

Put another 200 miles on it today going to the family reunion. I think it ate a rear brake pad on the way home. I'll have to tear into that tomorrow so I can get it fixed to tow to another autocross this coming Saturday.

Found that noise. 

It looks to be a pad failure. The other three pads all had about 1/4 inch left on them. 

That's an awful big spring stack to be inverted. And I sure am glad they weren't drums.

This big stupid thing is still earning its keep. I've put almost 4000 miles on it since I bought it. It will see another 200 this weekend and be on the road again for Thanksgiving traveling. 

It's getting harder to plan to cut it up. Instead, I keep thinking of ways to improve it. So I've already started looking for another engine donor for SanFord. Not saying it won't get cut up, I might find another shuttle bus that is in better shape, and then the axe will fall. 

We shall see.

those look like saturn 5 boosters.

although it may be a pad failure it cold also be a normal "good old" Ford caliper failure.
