put wheel bearings in with new pads but one side is rubbing and gets very hot, only drove it couple miles down the road.

You did push the piston all the way in before the new pads right?

one of them was completely dry when I took it apart, it works now both sides are good.

maybe, what is causing this problem? is it a fluid problem?

 

[REDCRAPGP]

Could be. When you get a chance check the fluid.. If it smells burnt then that's no good. If it's still cherry redish then your good if it's dark then yes you'll want to do a pan drop. How many miles?

ok thank you I think ill go ahead and do that, what do you think about the ZZP aluminum trans pan? they say is runs cooler.

 

[REDCRAPGP]

Ehh I wouldn't spend the coin on it, rather buy the dorman pan that has the built in drain plug to make future pan drops easier.

this is the correct one? I prefer amazon when possible, I usually only use ebay for used parts like when I order my new dic and oem head unit.

it appears as its on amazon ill order that with the shift kit tomorrow or Thursday, what kind of spark plugs would you recommend? any performance plugs?

 

[REDCRAPGP]

Your n/a right.. If so stock iridium plugs will do just fine, you won't get much performance out of plugs
