lift there truck and have problems with the rotors/hubs heating up? i checked the bearing nuts and they spec'ed correctly, im just wondering what the odds are that they will go out at the same time? with the calipers on the knuckle and the tire off the rotor doesnt even spin a turn, im wonderig if this is the bearings or just because the brake caliiper is on the knuckle w/ pads incontact w/ rotor.
 
are you shure your pads arent dragging?
 
yeah maybe the caliper pistons are cocked i dont think i compressed them when i reinstalled them... also it feels like i have little brake even after i bled them, (almost drops to the floor when running)

i wont lie the brake system is my least fav. part about cars lol

Click to expand...

id bleed em more.. and see if there dragging
 
well i just pulled one caliper and opend the bleeder valve and compressed the piston with an old break pad and there was quite a bit of air in them... hopefullly this will solve the problem =[ ive got a appointment for an allignement off of colfax and wads and i need the truck to make it there in one piece lol!
 
are the bearings well greased?
 
damn i hate brakes, but it was both pistons in the calipers causing the breaks to bind, took em off and compresed then rebled the brakes...

she runs cool now...but man that sucked =[

and im think im starting to have one of those nights as i got back in the truck to test the brakes i start it and i magically got interference in my sound system
-_- god damn....
