Brake Problems

[Chad]

I have a 97 2500 4x4 Auto and the inside brake pads on the front are wearing out in a span of about 2 months taking out my rotors. The pads on the outside still look brand new. I had new brake lines, calipers, and severe duty pads put on thinking that would fix any brake problems but just yesterday my passenger side pad "disappered" taking out my rotor again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you check the wheel bearings? how about the slides?

I would check the slides on the caliper for rust and gunk built up sounds like to me the caliper is not sliding properly.

I thought that was the problem too. I put grease on the slides when I put the new calipers in and when it ate the last pad up I checked the slides on the caliper and they slid fine.

Your slides may be damaged from being bound up for so long. Check to be certain there is no worn areas that could put the caliper in a bind when braking. They might slide just fine with no braking force applied but bind up when braking forces are applied to the caliper.
