I wish it was that easy, but unfortunately, that's not it. I made sure
it was clearing the drum when I installed it, and after looking at it
the other day, I didn't see any signs of wear. As soon as I can get out
from behind my desk and get under the truck, I'll be checking out
whether or not the drum is warped.. maybe that's it. Thanks for the
suggestion tho!
