Message: [QUOTE="D66stroke, post: 1536056, member: 7886"] I'm trying to figure out why these trucks go through calipers so often after the originals go up. These trucks have been out 20 years, has anyone found the reason behind this? I've read so much and no one knows (old posts). My assumption is heat, dust, and rust from junk pads and solid rotors, and an occasional brake line swelling internally. Am I right or could it be further upstream like the master cylinder or something? I just replaced both rears, they are still dragging. Going after the 3 rear brake lines next. I don't tow much with this truck, or ever heavy at that. So other than stopping an 8k pound truck daily (I don't stand on the pedal), I can't see heat being the issue. Hopefully I'm wrong because I just ordered drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads lol. I'm just trying to find the most common cause so I'm not eating up new parts or swapping calipers as often, or ever again. Or is it just something we have to live with as early SD owners? [/QUOTE]
