Help

Hey guys and gals, as most of you know I recently lifted my truck. Well I was driving it the other day and the passenger side caliper locked up. Well I let it sit over night and drove it the next day and it was fine all day. Tonight I made a 3.5 mile round trip to the store and on the way home it locked up again. The only common between the two times it has done it was I had it at full lock to the right to get out of a parking lot.

So, bad caliper or something different? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...Brian

this is somewhat common......my boss's 07 1500 had caliper problems at 45K

take it apart. it might be the guide pins seized up. That has heppened to me a few times.

Raise it up and take the wheel off. While it is locked up, open the bleed screw...Does the caliper release? If so, the lining on the rubber brake hose has collapsed, replace both sides at the same time. If the caliper DOESNT release with the bleeder screw backed off replace BOTH calipers.

That's what I would go with. .... good luck
