No roll .................

2002 F-350 4x4 auto

Feels like the brakes are on , wont even roll down steep hills.

Just got the rears completley done last Friday.
Check fronts the look ok and have about 50% pad left.
On the rear we changed the pads , rotors and calipers.
Check E brake.

I drove it about 10 miles today then felt all the hubs / wheels , nothing was hot.

Its bad and i need the truck , does anyone have any ideas?

I would say to jack up the truck (all four wheels if possible) and try to turn everything and see if anything is obvious. I assume you are saying the truck doesn't want to coast when you let off the gas....

Keep us posted. Haven't heard this one before. One wheel should be hot if dragging. Bearing you should here. Is the rear end hot after driving? Chet

Don't touch your calipers immediately after a drive, be very careful because they can get scortching hot but after driver around a bit stop and check all the calipers, make sure they feel about the same temp. If one is hotter than the other then you have a hanging caliper which could be either the pistons on the caliper or sliding pins.
If it is a caliper you can get new calipers at napa (piston side only) for 55 bucks.

I just replaced both my rear calipers, pistons side only.

None of them are hot.
Just replaced both sides on the back with everything new , calipers , rotors and pads.

I have to wonder if it's in the drive train then. Have you tried jacking it up and tried to roll the tires by hand. Be sure to keep one tire on the ground and your rig in nutrual.

I feel like I have this problem to some extent. We noticed it was hard to turn the rear tires when we did caliper on X a couple weeks ago. Could something be up with the LSD?

After reading through, I would look at the diff also. You'd feel the heat from the brakes if it were the brakes.

If it was just rebuilt I would double check your diff. It could be that the pinion gear wasn't adjusted correctly and could be putting to much extra strain on the gears.
But I'm not a gear head, it's just a thought.

Took it to a shop today.
Mechanic pulled all the wheels and checked everything out.
Said nothing was wrong with it , I left his shop and pulled out on the street and stepped on it.
I almost got ran over it was just like the e brake was on.
It used to be I could spin the tires on dry pavment easily.

if you are suspecting the rear diff you could always pull the axels and take it for a quick spin in 4X4...........
