my 350 and 550 would pull to the right. took the abs fuse out and they stop like they should. brake calipers dont seem to last long before they stick. they did come from napa. that could be part of it

I solved the problem at the junkyard.  ;D

Dropping off or picking up?  :D


I have always found NAPA to be the higher quality after market parts store.

Napa high quality? Maybe compared to some of the others. I asked carquest about brake calipers.  They said They get there's from the same rebuilds. I find most parts are less money or close at the Ford dealer. But I do have a fleet account

I've had worse luck with stuck calipers on the ones I got from the Ford dealer than the ones I've got from Napa. And at least Napa is only 5 miles down the road when I need to warranty one compared to 50 miles to the Ford dealer....

Must be a Ford thing because I've had more stuck calipers on my superduty than I had on all the other trucks I've owned combined.

At least they stock everything for Ford brakes. That's nice, considering you habe to work on  them every other weekend.  :D

My local NAPA stocks all brake parts and u joints for Ford trucks. And if its sold out, they can have it the next morning. A friend of mine has 7 or 8 Super Dutys. Usually. one of them is running.  :D

chevytaHOE5674,

  I work at a Toyota dealer, we do A LOT of calipers!  We run a lot of 4 piston calipers on our Trucks and SUV's we replace a lot of stuck calipers.  We get a little better luck out of the Toyota Reman units than the aftermarket ones.  When a Toyota reman is available it's usually in the same price range as the aftermarket.  We have the best luck with calipers from Autopart International aka Foreign Autopart

Bruno,

  I've got a guy over in Rye that has rebuilt 3 or 4 Chevy HD Speedo clusters for me.  He does a good job, replaces all the bulb...  Pretty sure it was around $200 each, maybe a little less???  It's been a while.  He also rebuilt a "fish stick" for my old Fisher 8ft HD plow.

My F350 has gone through 12 calipers in 35k miles.  Ford quit making them, all l can find are rebuilds now. NAPPA  by me keeps them in stock. Buy online and pickup in the store saves 10%. :)

21 how much do you drive the truck

  With all the Super Duty stuck caliper talk I'll tell my story from last Sept. 2013 F450 diesel dually, crew cab, long bed, 4X4, just under 30,000 miles pulling my 34' 5th wheel and in Burlington Vermont a caliper stuck and heated up the disc. General consensus is that I don't drive it often enough. Truck and RV have been coast to coast through 43 states but it does sit too long between trips so I'm trying to use it more often even if I'm not hauling anything.

Not much anymore. About 300 miles last year. It sits so high my wife can't climb up in it anymore even with the running boards.  Thinking about one of the 1500 Dodges with 4 corner air that drops 2 inches extra because I can't pick her up these days. :)

I rebuilt all of the calipers in my superduty with new pistons and square cut orings myself a while back and so far none have stuck. I used a small engine hone and cleaned up the bores nice, also flushed all the fluid at the same time. Figure if somebody else can rebuild them and make them last 2 weeks I can't really do any worse.... ha

Generally speaking (not brand or model specific) use to be that the pistons would stick especially when pushed back in to put new pads because they were dry between the seal ring and the dust boot, a mechanic friend taught me to pump the piston most of the way out and slide the dust boot in and clean that part of the piston then pull the dust boot back out and spray some lube in there before pushing the piston back in.

I can't recall what kind of lube it was, I'm thinking some type of light grease that could withstand some heat.

you think ford is junk wait till you get a dodge  I can say this cause I/my mechanic  have one if I get to use it a week a month I feel special  its nothing but an electrical night mare back a few months ago I wake up to a truck running in my drive way ya the dodge started its self with the key on the dash talk about pile of     driving down the road around 30mph and bam I'm trying to back up still cant figure that out lights go out at night going 70mph down the high way ya its a fun ride if it will stay together or don't kill me by spring its going to the fire co to get cut apart cant wait   8) 8)

Every manufacturer has a few lemons out there. A friend has a '14 550 that rolls up the windows and turns the heat all the way up, and all the lights stop working. In the summer! :D
