Default Re: First trip this year!

Update 2

Well the rattle is back, but I found it, and the brakes are heating up but i think i know why, just don't know how to fix it. The rattle is from the u-joints and slip joint on the steering linkage under the floor. It didn't appear they had ever been greased although there were zerts everywhere. I greased it all and if that didn't do it I will get them replaced. The brake deal seems to be the pedal doesn't come all the way back up and leaves enough pressure on the brakes to drag just a little. If I pull it all the way up with my toe everything is peachy. This system appears to be air-over hydraulic and I suspect that the air part isn't releasing all the air pressure when it should. I have reservations 1500 miles away on the 24th., anybody got any Ideas? I hope I can get it in at coachlight if I can't fix it myself.
