brakes dragging

Replaced all calipers this summer.Rear brakes are dragging again. R/R caliper had to replaced again. Is there something I should know about bleeding these brakes or just getting crap calipers? '06 F350

I have not had any issues with calipers hanging up personally, but I can tell you I flush my brake system every couple of years too.

I evacuate the fluid out of the resevoir first, and refill with fresh fluid. The start at the furthest wheel from the resevoir and work your way to the drivers wheel. Once you get the hang of it, can flush a system in 15-20 minutes.

Here is the best 100.00 you will spend!

Did you install new hardware with the calipers? Are you sure it's not in the parking brake system?

Personally I like these for "changing" brake fluid: Russell Performance - Domestic Speed Bleeders

You can install and self bleed the whole system in <30 minutes initially and I got mine for $40 shipped to the house. Never had brake pedal this good!!
