      Check the adjustment of the rear brake shoes, something could have caused them to come out of adjustment or flat out not work. As stated above, check for fluid leaks as well

        I understand what a MAP sensor is kind of but does 14.8 equal the amount of intake vacuum in inches of Hg? Since 29.6 is a perfect vacuum should it be 14.8 inches of Hg at 50% or am I just way out in left field grasping at straws?_x000D_

                If you’re not getting any spark, double check the power and grounds at the module. The module could test good, but if its not getting any power than you’re gonna have a no start. If all that checks out it pretty much has to be a crank sensor problem…. o

                    I’ve never been a fan of the “fancy” plugs with multiple electrodes blah blah blah, just stick with the original motorcraft.

                        Use good quality brake pads if you dont want them to squeak. Cheap pads make noise, simple as that.

                                Thats true, some pads can really wear down a rotor quickly. Also, lots of heavy braking can cause the newly machined rotors to heat up excessively and warp. Personally, I would have zero problems machining rotors and drums on my truck, I know they would w
