I know how you feel Steve. I had to take the truck to the shop because the weather was not playing fair. Pads,rotors, and a new caliper later all is good again.

I had to do the other caliper a couple years ago so I replaced pads and rotors then. I don't really put that many miles on it so hopefully it will be just a caliper but who knows!

I had an issue with a guide pin sticking on the same caliper and had that fixed before it seized on me Steve. Howdy George.

SoSo Shaun. Picked up 10 rolls of 30# roofing paper for $60 which beats paying $240 at the box stores. Got the 87 loaded for the upcoming trip to VA.
TV news stations been showing some nasty flooding.

Hi Steve. Had a caliper seize on my 86 F250 a couple of years ago. Sure did get the rotor warm.

Good thing I had the window down so I didn't really go that far with it. I was rolling down a really rough steep seasonal road when it happened. When I got down to the main road I could definately tell by the steering pull etc... I only went about a mile up to dear 'ol dad's house and got a hammer and freed it up before I went towards home.
