Rear Brakes Dragging--Thoughts?
2004 F-250 4x4, Powerstroke, Crew Cab Lariat. About 70k miles. About 5K miles ago, the rear brakes on one side started dragging, severely, one day. Got out of truck and could smell it...felt the wheel and it burned my hand. Ended up turning the rear rotors, and installing new calipers on both sides, along with new brake pads. It appeared from our repair that the L rear caliper had seized up and was not releasing.
5K miles later, the same wheel is intermittently (apparently) hanging. Will occasionally get out of truck and smell burning brakes, and when you feel that wheel it is warm (not burning hot, but warm). Truck doesn't appear to pull when driving, brakes normally, no fluid use, no leaks, etc. Pulled the wheel and the pads don't appear to be wearing abnormally, and the rotor looks good. Lubed the caliper slides and reassembled, but it seems to still intermitently have that issue. Any thoughts? Can a caliper be bad again? Brake proportioning valve? Master cylinder? Something Else?
I've searched on here but no joy. Any thoughts are appreciated.
