LSVW Sighting
Are these things still in service and if so, are they still active in the Manitoba area?
A VERY minty one just chugged down our front street towing a VERY minty trailer. The trailer had a plain boxy looking superstructure. The engine sounded just fine but the brakes were quite squeaky as it slowed down to take a corner, heading up the side street to the University of Manitoba campus. David |

And if the brakes squeal that means they're working! Very tactical Anyone who buys one needs to find a scrounge buddy at EME if the parts are still in the system

My area of knowledge is not LSVW or brakes in particular. But, if the European version of these trucks don't squeal like (insert your favourite unkind phrase) - what did Canada do differently? As little as different pad compound or as much as completely different brake system from the axle mounts outward? Is it possible that a solution to the offending noise might be as simple as changing over to European pads? If so, it might improve driving pleasure without making a visible change to the truck. Would doing so invalidate approvals to drive on Canadian roads? I don't know but would be curious to know the answers.

Grant might be on to something here. Check into the European brakes or look into a softer off the shelf one if such exists.
I had brakes done on my F150 recently and it came back squealing like crazy. Mechanics used the longer wear pads that are way too hard. I always try to go for a tougher rotor and cheap pads.
