ok so i had a caliper that was hanging up. caused me to pull left whenever driving and when the clutch was pushed in it would stop me by itself. so i replaced both calipers, pads, and rotors and it still hung up on the drivers side... so i bought a hose and put it on... its a little better, doesnt pull to the left, but i can hear it whenever im moving and feel it dragging at lower speeds. what else could be causing this to happen?

thanks for the input

Were the new calipers loaded (new bolts and sleeves)? I copied this from the sm.


assembly.

 

Whats a metering valve and wheres it located? Never heard of it before...

 

It should be just below the master cyld, it's also called a brake proportioning valve. I am trying to find an illustration for you.

 

prop valve i understand. i know what ur talking about now. ill look into it after work today

 

It's doing this when you don't even have your foot on the brake?

 

Correct. I can jack up drivers side and spin the wheel but as soon as i stop, the wheel stops. As im driving down the road i can hear it dragging too

 

You sure it's not the hub bearing or ujoint?

 

Jack up the front of the truck. Spin the wheels. See how they feel.

Step hard on the brakes.

Repeat step one. If either/both are sticking, crack open the bleeder valve. If that unsticks it, you still have a bad hose/line somewhere.

 

Last night when i loosened the bleeder it let the caliper loose. Hubs, u-joints are maybe 500 miles old... The truck is at my work right now, gunna dick with it tomorrow sometime...
