Sticky passenger caliper: best brand for replacement?

[lotzagoodstuff]

Drove the truck for the first time yesterday in about a month. The batteries were dead, which is interesting as the stickers say they are 8 years old. I put the big booster on them and it started and seemed to charge ok.

Coming home I noticed a little smoke from the front right and realized that I have a sticky caliper. That's what I get for not driving it enough I guess.

I've had some bad experiences with rebuilt calipers in the past, anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance

One with a warranty. You should rebuild it yourself, easy peasy. Oh and hope all is well.

Hey Russ. I was just thinking as soon as I get some time and it cools off a little I need to put the fresh turbo on. Been pretty hot and humid back here but I hear it's been super hot in the NorthWest so far this summer.

It has, it sucks. But it is humid where you are. Been there done that.

If you don't want to rebuild yours. You can always buy Motorcraft Calipers from Rockauto $80 each

I would recommend changing the brake hose at the same time. I have seen them fail before where they will allow fluid to pass in one direction but were slow to allow the fluid to back flow causing a dragging caliper. Your already there so why not.

Info if you want to rebuild them.
