Had the same problem on my CCPU after installation of the floaters. Problem turned out to be emergency brake band installation and not the new floaters. Hope this helps.

I recently had to raise my body for Highway Patrol to do a VIN# verification. To get a clear view of the numbers I had to raise the body six inches and remove the apron. It was a pain but can be done.

New member to the site. I have reviewed many of the previous post and have learned a lot. Finally have my 1929 CCPU street legal, after several months of DMV issues. Went for a short drive today and when I left the house the truck was running at the correct idle speed, but during the drive...
