10 months agoI don’t own anything with an electronic parking break, but they don’t seem that hard to deal with. What’s the usual issue (or is there one) with LED conversions?
The suspension one made me laugh. I literally have looked at so many lifted vehicles that I could even tell were wrong without a trained eye. I’m pretty nervous to mess with lifts, differential ratio changes, etc. at home. I took those to a good shop. Can’t beat decades of experience, no matter how “interested” in those things I am.
I’ve done this on my own designs. Never done it with anything that had a torque spec, but I made the mistake of looking at the wrong table for the wrong metal and stripped the threads right out of something I’d tapped. I felt like an idiot afterwards. :P
