Rotors smoking hot!!!

[99dodge1500]

I put new pads, rotors, and bearings on both sides of my truck a few weeks ago (everything was clean when installed) then took a test drive down the road, when I got back to the house the driver side was smoking a little. So I took it all back apart and the caliper was a little hard to compress so I went and bought a new one and a new break hose from the parts store. Got home put it on bled the breaks cleaned everything agian and everything was good for 3 days then it started smoking agian and getting hot so I pulled it apart yet agian and put new bearings and races in then it was fine yet agian for 3 weeks till today when it started again when I started down my driveway!!!



I'm at a complete loss any ideas would help.... Its only the driver side that's giving me problems



Replaced so far

bearings&races( 2 times)

Caliper

Brake hose

Flushed the break fluid

Rotor

That's odd. Sounds like a sticky caliper, but it shouldn't be.. are you pulling left when you brake? anything else happening when they act up?

 

[99dodge1500]

Nope no pulling whatsoever

Pads glazed over?

From the looks of them I'd say no

It'll do it mainly if I'm on the highway

Gonna pickup another caliper and a cheaper set of pads tomorrow and see if it fixes

I may be wrong....but you MIGHT have to do both sides. I don't think the MC is out, but I've seen weirder things.

I've got it on the lift at work now with 3 other mechanics looking at it hopefully can figure something out

Caliper is sticking on the sliding pins.

Polish the pins, replace the bushings they slide on, and grease them with brake lube; you should be good 2 go.

The seal on the piston was bad so warranted it and am putting it on the morning hopefully fixes it!!! Lol driving my father-in-laws old f150 hasn't been a pleasant experience this week

Lol my 5.2 gets better gas mileage than that ecoboost ever thought about getting...



Drove it home from work and didn't seem to have any issues only time will tell

Good maybe it's fixed. I hope so. I hate it when my baby is down.
