   Re: PLS HELP! New Tires, Lost Brakes: Co

   Shop called back.   
      
   One of the pistons on the master cyl was hanging up. Replacement   
   there. Also gt new pads in front.  CV boot needed replacing and   
   repacking of course. (Bearings ok.)   
      
   And he said they pulled the codes and were getting 25 along with 26,   
   and it turned out to be the AFM (air flow meter). The bad news is the   
   AFM is $600-something new from a dealer, but a rebuilt one is about   
   $290-something, and thankfully it only takes about 30-min to install   
   it.   
      
   So total damage comes to something like $930 + tax... plus the $85 tow   
   and $700 in tires last week = ~$1,700+   
      
   Oh, and he said the back shoes are not low at all, but are cracked   
   everywhere, and the rear cylinders are just starting to leak. So   
   that's another $250-275 or so, but I'll do that in a month or so. He   
   said I could wait.   
      
   At least I didn't get in a crash and hurt anyone else, myself, or my   
   truck. :)
