I have a 2K club cab with 89k miles on it. While it was under warranty,
rotors were replaced twice for warpage. Around 40K, I put on Frozen Rotors
and solved the warp problem. Around 45K, the passenger caliper stuck and
toasted the brake pad, so I replaced the caliper and pads. Lately the brakes
have been feeling mushy, so I ordered some Hawk HPS Performance Brake Pads
for it. When I installed them, the inboard passenger pad was down to the
metal and had started into the rotor - the 3 other pads had 3/8" material
left on them.
The rails the calipers slide on are slightly notched on both sides. The
passenger side is no worse than the driver's side. I've put high-temp
anti-seize on them every time I've replaced pads.
Is there something else that can cause just the passenger-side caliper to
stick? Proportioning valve? Master cylinder?
I also replaced the fluid with Valvoline synthetic, and the brakes feel much
better, even with the bad rotor on it.
Does anyone made a replacement set of brakes for the front? I have found SSB
rear replacements, but nothing for the front....
