has anyone else had the bad luck of both front calipers going out within 5 days of each other ??

 

I think a few years ago I had to replace both in my 2006 F350 within maybe six months of each other. Sticking and smoking real bad.....,

shortly after the fronts my left rear caliper froze. About 2 weeks ago it was the right rear. Thats all 4. I was getting damn good at noticing the issue immediately and saving the pads and rotors.

 

Replaced left front last month and just noticed right rear is sticking.

 

Sign me up for the '06 caliper 'failures' tho mine was an F350. Ended up with 4 new and a much lighter wallet. I had 2 sets of rears with one set on Ford, the next on me while the fronts were on me 100%

On the rears - make sure that the e-brake backing plate hasn't rusted through which will in turn 'smoke' the rotor and make it seem that the caliper has stuck and pads dragging. Yep, had that little PITA gem too. All parts available at Rock Auto at less $ including a bit thicker backing plate

 

BTDT for all calipers and both rear backing plates. Some calipers more than once. 60K miles on the truck (2006 F350), but plowing and sitting a lot are not good things for calipers.

 

i don't feel so bad then lol...guess I can look forward to replacing the rears.. I did manage to save the pads and rotors
