yup this seems to happen to me quite a bit, i had to change all 4 calipers on my 05 that i used to own and now i had to change the driver front caliper on my 04 flareside, seems to be a normal thing with these trucks



yeah it got really hot, had to wait a good two hours before i could work on it



replaced everything, new rotor, caliper, and brake pads, works great now, the other side will probably go too within the next month lol

Is there supposed to be a question here ????

 

Nice truck!

How many miles on those calipers?


.

 

It happens, I had one go last year and replaced all 4 on the truck with new brakes, ebrake and all that jazz all the way around. Last weekend my buddy helped my flush out the brake system and put nice new fluid in after we drained it out completely. Pedal feels a lot better.

 

There's alot of posts on this forum that don't have questions involved, just a heads up for ya

 

Mine warp all the time. Seems like I am always replacing pads and rotors.

 

There was 78,000 miles on that caliper

 

why did you "have to change it"???

 

Look at the rotor it's scored. The caliper seized

 

Never had a brake problem. Had to replace a couple of rotor due to bad bearings. Other than that, just pads.

 

Just replaced my front rotors and pads this morning (they were the originals with 275,000 miles). i was worried the spindle nut would not budge after reading several posts about how to remove the rotors, but i found the lugnuts on the rims seemed tighter than the spindle nut.

I did have to use a big hammer to persuade the passenger rotor to come off, it had a bad bearing in it.
