I vote for the slacks needing adjusting. Turn the nut to make the rod push into the chamber then back it off about a half turn. If it has auto slacks and will not back off( check at beginning of adjustment) then adjust up some and have somebody push on pedal to see what the stroke is. It should be no more than an 1 3/4 inch to be in spec. Better if it is about an 1 1/4. If it has the long stroke slacks ,yes there are some of those out there on the newer trucks. I'm not sure about those for spec. I do know it is like about 2 1/2 inches stroke. Also see if the slack arm is out the same amount when they are set in the parking mode. If they are different you will probably find the spring is broke. If you take them off and they rattle when you shake them it is broke. You can go 2 ways replace the whole can or just the piggy back. One is about 50.00 the other is about 35.00. These prices could be off some since I haven't bought any in a few years. I bought several ahead so I would have them on hand.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
