The intermittant flashing (while the truck is off) THEFT light would stay lit while the truck was running. Replaced the six and one-half year old battery and solved the problem.

Replaced pads, resurfaced rotors, lubed all the right places, etc. Had no trouble compressing calipers, no trouble getting all back together, etc., just the usual rusted-on rotors in the rear. Now,...
