Minivan back on the road again......

[LeeRevell]

Got my Grand Caravan back from the brake shop. I knew the left rear rotor was toast - badly scored and grinding. The others had a lot of wear too, which I could see and feel. So, $563 later it drives like new.
I had also been having an annoying squeal from the front end for some time. Worse when slowing and turning. Thought it stemmed from the rack & pinion unit last year. But it was apparently the worn brakes.
Rotors for Dodge Caravans and Grand Caravans run $55 apiece. A lot cheaper than for foreign cars.

Any plans for a trip now?

Just to the hunting lease this weekend. Family committments keep me on a short lease these days.

I just paid $46.00 each to turn the front rotors on the step van. Seems working on big trucks is more expensive than cars...

Mine were too far gone to be turned.

The last time I bought a rotor was several years ago, like twenty. Mazda PU truck. $70 apiece. $80 for a starter.
Starter for my Dodge Ramcharger 4X4 - $27. Gotta love American iron.
