I'm not looking for outrageous stopping power or to spend big money on larger calipers, etc. I've been replacing my calipers every 10k miles. This is the 5th one I've had fail on me. Front, rear, drivers, passenger, it doesn't matter. Always the same deal. The piston always comes apart. I've called around to local shops and showed them the caliper and the most common answer is heat from towing heavy. I'll be the first to admit that's the truth but I find it hard to believe I'm the only one that's having issues.
What's your thoughts? If it is caused from heat, what can I do to prevent this?
A local ford junk yard has a set of 08 F450 axles that I can buy for $1500 w/ trade-in of my stock ones. If I could figure out wtf to do with wheel setup I'm ready to go that route. This is becoming a pain in the azz changing calipers.
