Consumer Description

FRONT BRAKES RUBBING ON ROTORS CAUSING BRAKE PADS TO SMOKE. THIS CAUSED THE WARPING OF THE BRAKE ROTORS. REPLACED BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 1 (ONE) MONTH. THIS TIME AFTER SMELLING THE BRAKES AND SEEING SMOKE, I TRIED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD BUT THE TRUCK WOULD BARELY MOVE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. I HAD FOUND THE FRONT LEFT CALIPER MOUNTING BOLT HAD BECOME LOOSE AND STRIPPED THE BOLT HOLE. I HELI-COILED THE HOLE AND LOCTITED THE BOLT IN PLACE.
