Message: [QUOTE="BS Hauler, post: 1448743, member: 15204"] I think that one of the reasons that people have repeated caliper failures is because they don't change all the fluid out of the system before they change them. They change a caliper because its sticking and then just push the old crappy brake fluid in the reservoir right into the new caliper and within a month its back to sticking and dragging the brake again. The other thing that I do is make sure that there is enough lube in the slider pins even on new calipers. I have also seen where there is sometimes not enough clearance in the brake shoes guide pins on the ends of them where they sit in the calipers too move freely. If you have to take a hammer to knock out the brake shoe out of the caliper its too tight. File them a little. My original shoes went 80,000 miles pulling a horse trailer on my 02 dually. Then went thru 2 sets of after markets in the next 25,000 miles till I figured out what was going on. When the after market companies punch out the shoes they get a little sloppy with sizing them.
