Long story short, truck is running great now and transmission is shifting fine. Drove it pretty much every day last week including picking up about 1200lbs of wood slabs for the side business (fun trip out through the country). We have a new master cylinder as the brakes were loosing pressure before. Everything has been fine for the last 500 miles or so brake wise. Recently the pedal has been getting closer and closer to floor before stopping the truck. Still felt like it was stopping fine, ie the brakes didn't feel soft, but I was loosing more and more pedal. Anyway, I'm going to drop it off at my mechanic and in the event it actually needs shoes I started searching. Only thing I can find is shoes for the 1/2 ton. Anyone know of a source for the 1 ton or have any input on the brake issue?

Thanks in advance,
Brad

And just for fun
