Well Just asking this, I know what I want to do, but just wondering what everyone else would do..
Ok, I did my brakes 3 weeks ago ( all 4 wheels) I bled the brakes.
I changed all 4 rotors and pads, The FRONT are D/S with P/F pads, the rears are P/F pads and new oem style rotors, lubed all slides, wire brushed everything ETC.
The truck stops like DOG SH**********....
After further looking into it , the rears are only grabbing 50%... The tires spin in drive with the pedal pushed..
ALSO I have the drivers side front caliper hanging up a slight bit, not a lot, but more than I like it to... and More then the Pass side...
NOW I broke 1 bleeder off in the right rear caliper, So I bled it from the brake line, and re bled the brakes...
Still the same...
I really don't want to replace the calipers, but you think it is worth my time to try to easy out the bleeder or just replace the calipers..
THE reason I am asking is this. I have P/F pads on the rear with stock rotors. I got my D/S Gold rotors today and want to do the next job 1 time only...
What would you do ???
Edit: my idea is to just change all 4 calipers, and install the new rear pads and rotors..
Thanks
