Dragging It Out

The transmission shop still hasn't started on Pumpkin's transmission.  Maybe they'll get it pulled today.  If so, it should be ready by Wednesday.

After I get Pumpkin back home, I've got to tackle the front brakes.  Looks like I have a pad dragging.  The rotors were turned a couple of years ago and the brake lines replaced so it shouldn't need either of those.  The pads look good so maybe it's just a sticking caliper.  If I'm lucky (but I seldom am), it just needs cleaned and maybe a plunger kit.  Otherwise, it may need a new caliper for about $100.  I bought a 20 ton bottle jack a few weeks ago, so I think I can do it myself.
