yeah but were talking low speed stop like from 5mph...
i lifted the truck and forgot to replace hoses, then the problem started
hubs and rotor/wheel would get extreemly hot, replaced hoses, hubs dont get as hot (can place hand on it for like 30 secs) but the rotors are freaking hot.
truck pulls to the left (left hub noticibly warmer then right) but both rotors equally hot...
also i was using gas like a 70's towncar prior to hose swap, now im using less but still more then usual and seems like i have a drop in performance as well
im bummed out and becoming discouraged lol

well the loss in mileage could be because the brakes were somehow being applied because brakes being on means hot and loss in mileage.
ok well i replaced the hoses and calipers/break pads and noticed a big difference and truck runs stright and breaks evenly, but hubs still get hot and noticed air bubbles comming from the foward end of the fluid resivor on the MC... what causes this? i didnt run the master dry through any of the brake wwork so far.... it cant be the bearing nuts eather because ive already retourqued them.. im stumped.
