PULL TOY

My 2002 Ram 2500 ( 88,000 ) miles, rear brakes drag. I have had this problem before, replaced calipers on both side, flushed brake fluid, put on new pads. And now its doing it again. Im the original owner, never baja the truck, the thing has been taken care of very well. Anyone else ever have this problem?

Thanks Ray

Mine on one side dragged, took the slider bolts out, ran them threw the wire wheel and greased, that made them float again, no problem now.

Do what he said^^. Mine did this also after a winter trip to MT and back. I try to do this every time I rotate the tires.

You may have a caliper hanging up if the above doesn't do the trick...

Where in WA?

From the ones I've seen, the problem is usually rust in the caliper bore around the outside of the slide bushings. When it gets hot, the rust expands much more than the metal, effectively pinching the slides tight. You need to remove the rubber slide bushings and hone out all the rust in there, then replace the bushings.

Yes, and lube the slider rails...
