'99 Suburban 1500 2WD
Replaced BOTH front calipers AND hoses after they heated up and appeared to be sticking after replacing the pads last weekend. That was all that was done then, new pads on.
Now the driver's side caliper is working perfectly, no excessive heat, stopping good, etc. The passenger side is still heating up big time! The interesting thing is this, after bleeding the caliper and pumping it up so it is adjusted, you can still spin the hub by hand. Spin it and have someone touch the brake it stops. Release the brake and spin it by hand no problem.
Start the engine and press the brake and release, no more spinning of the passenger side by hand! It is tight and will not completely release. Try to push the piston back in with a "C" clamp, no can do. NO ABS light on the dash.
Stopped for the evening, but have this plan. crack the bleeder valve and press the piston back in. Pull the ABS fuse, bleed the caliper and then let it readjust. The hub will probably spin freely as expected. Start the engine and see what happens after that. Wondering if the ABS pump is jacked-up or the valving in that ABS is jacked-up? I doubt the valving just because it never appears to screw up before starting the engine. Grabs and releases as expected.
I have heard the horror stories of the ABS pump cost and have yet to research the rebuild, salvage yard, new options. Don't really want to think about any of the above!!!
Thoughts?
