2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake Problem

[Nick H]

Has any one had this happen and know of a fix. About 5000 miles ago I replaced my front brakes, rotors,calipers and caliper pin boots. Now it started pulling to the right when applying the brake it is more noticeable when the truck is loaded. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You don't say what year your truck is, but if you have drum brakes on the rear, make sure the REAR brakes are adjusted properly. The so-called automatic adjusters are NOT reliable. If the rear brakes are out of adjustment that can cause a bad pulling condition.



When the front brakes are serviced make sure the pins are polished and lubed with silicon brake grease like NAPA sells. It's in a can and is a nasty black color. Also smooth the slides on the caliper mounts and grease them. Make sure that both calipers slide freely.
