I've noticed in the past that my front brakes always seem to "burn" after moderate daily braking. I could understand that after heavy braking situations or towing will cause the brakes to "burn" and smoke a bit. But with just normal stopping, mine smoke.

So recently I put on a new set of pads, which I thought would solve the problem. But guess what? It didn't. It still smeels like the pads are burning. Is this a comon problem with Dodges?

 

JPR, I have had that problem too. My 00 truck 90,000miles had calipers that were hanging slightly.I replaced them and it is fine.I also put the bigger wheel cylinders in the rear, they help activate the rears a lot stronger. Mark

 

Are you sure your calipers arent dragging?

 

Honestly, no I'm not sure they're not dragging. I never even thought of that problem. As soon as I get the truck back from the body shop, I'll check it out. Thanks guys.............
