Topic: BRake Problem !!!!!!!!

[unclejpl4x4]

well   it started after i got the truck  inspetion   and got failed  for the right rear  brake being way out of adjustment.   Adjusted the brake  went back  truck passed.

SO one day I'm    along    doing about 55  put it in 5grear  pedal on the floor  my truck starts slowing down
I pull over  and my left rear brake is hung up .  I  drove to the shop (on my b-day)  unadjusted that side  it's been  OK     not that i use my brakes.   Have not had time to pull the wheel 

So on my what home to night  the truck started pulling to the right    then i started to smell the brakes burn      left front  and right rear both.     I have never  ran across this problem in the 12yrs wrenching.        THE pedal feels great       maybe a proportion valve

sounds like you got a broke spring back there,  only way to know for sure is take it apart

but the rear is a broke spring i garantee that,

left front    wore down till its eatin the rotor and grabbing

lol     front brakes are  about a yr old pads and rotoers    thet where around 50% when i was under there the otherday ......  as for the rear   the pads are good to  had the drums off   befor inspetion......clean them....... every thing looked good.................. ........ ...........   ya a spring dose sound plasable

as for the front  ......... i am lost    think  i'll go stick my head under thaer     i just wish i had tools at home to pull the wheels + jack up the truck 


I don't use my brakes  i down shift   maybe i will use 20% of my brakes    at a intersetion    or if some numb nut in front of me stops  thats about it.

you nkow, brake systems need to be upkept and use... if they jsut sit all the time, things deteriorate

[unclejpl4x4 [OP]]

took it apart today            could nor find anything wrong with the left rear    cleaned it up  and     left it weakly ajusted.

AS for the front right  2 of the 4 pistons where stuck   so i bang-on  a new caliper for 40$$.
