[QUOTE="Billy, post: 645701, member: 17377"] I drove one on my last route and loved the space, and light inside, and the turning radius. The brakes were always bad on it too. Those 5500's are nice but the rotors are too small for the weight and get too hot too fast. That makes them warp, and glaze early on. The best thing to do is not have to hit them hard while driving. ( leave yourself more stopping distance ) The other rattle is not the brakes, but likely the shocks. The other poor thing about them is that to save money UPS went to a single rear tire on a lot of the 55's. Most of the time that's ok, but with those on a slight ( did I say slight? ) incline during rain you're not coming back up a driveway. ( I know the rule too, but if you're delivering a country route those driveways can be 1/4 mile and you have to go in them. ) [/QUOTE]
