Sticking Front brake caliper..... or what

Posted

I put new rebuilt calipers on last front brake work with new pads.   Front Passenger side pads wore out a little more than drivers side

 

The second set of front pads same thing is happening .   These are auto zone rebuilt calipers lifetime guaranty so I can replace free... Im thinking I just got a bad caliper.  Do you think the drivers side caliper is bad since its pads arent wearing as much?

    @Mopar1973Man is right on the exhaust brake. I used to go maybe 60k on set of front pads. After the EB close 200k.

Always consult your owners manual and use the type of fluid specified for your vehicle.

Last time I used valvoline dot 3-4 synthetic, this time I got some supertech from wallmart in dot4 synthetic. Guessing there is no difference in brand name other than price. I'll give it a try and see how it goes. 

Edit

Not sure how it's both at same time

Ok ,,, good on an exhaust brake and long pad life

 

I am another who has logged over 200,000 miles on front brake pads, rotors, and calipers.  I replaced the pads and rotors at 215,000 miles just as a maintenance procedure - there was at least another 50,000 miles left on the pads.  I am still running the original front calipers, now at 332,000 miles. 

 

And of course, I do have an exhaust brake and it gets used every time the truck is driven.
