Hey guys. Think I'll start a new thread in my current issue. I'm chasing down my dragging calipers issue. I thought my initial problem was from my 5th wheel, but it's obviously not. That thread is here So here is the problem I'm experiencing. My front brakes drag hard. To the point where I can spit on my rotors and have the spit sizzle off. This is just under normal driving with very light brake application. Mostly highway. I thought I had siezed calipers so I serviced the truck this weekend only to find problem still there. Here's what I replaced. Bought new front calipers and pads, new rotors, and new brake lines, and on the rear I got new cylinders. Also new fluid flush. Bled brakes once I was done. Bedded new brakes properly. After two days of driving, I noticed I am still dragging. I'd like to get to the bottom of this before I screw up my new brakes. Heres my initial diagnosis. I notice if I depress my brake pedal, the pedal comes back up kinda slowly. It doesn't just snap back. I can also see my tail lights stay on for a second or two after I release brake pedal. With the truck off, I pumped the pedal a few times and hold it down with moderate pressure and then start the truck. Pedal sinks a little further, but doesn't "push back". That's as far as I made it. Thoughts? Thanks.
