Bob, I just went thru the "sticky" caliper thing on my passenger side
too...it ate up my Powerslot rotor, and some good Raybestos pads, (that I
INITIALLY), thought were to blame, they weren't...I replaced calipers, pads,
rotors, even the darn brake lines...even the master...turns out it was the
booster..there is an adjustment that goes into the master and it had
unlocked and moved out on its own. It's a fairly common occurrence on
Dodges from what I now know.

Subject: DML: Calipers/Timing Chain
Hey, DML...
FIRST: I know we've got a lotta brake experts on the list, but we always
talk rotors & pads - not calipers.
The DAKSY has a "sticky" passenger side caliper & it's eating up pads in
less than 20K. I figger with the temps in the below freezin range I can get
thru the winter on this set, & then it'll be a little better workin
outside...
Question is, do I buy MoPar OEM calipers (mizewell replace both), or do I go
for rehabbed/rebuilt ones?
Or, is there a 3rd option? Is there a manufacturer out there who makes a
better caliper than the OEM?
Opinions?
Anybody?
SECOND: We've been bandying around timing chain durability and wear,
lately....
What's our best option for replacement TC mfrs? Anybody got a feel for which
one is better than another?
If I get in the front of the 3.9 to change the chain, is there something
else I should be doing or looking for while I'm in there? I just did the
water Pump & serp belt about 20K ago, & a t-stat has less than 10k...
TIA,
