Yeah.. Usually it's the rust that locks up the brakes and causes them to wear

Was the rust that froze the slide pins and the lack of grease from the factory that took out the rotors and pads.

Not on his either, but the calipers he bought had a lifetime warranty.. Ford doesn't give us that... LOL

If the pistons are freezing up and there is a lifetime warranty, they should be covered.

Howdy John!

Where is all of your heat coming from?

I suspect its coming from Northern Cali, going across the Northern states getting you and dropping down to get us then I'm sending it East to Don.

It's normal for this time of year but some years get a little warmer than others, then we get some years that are just plain miserable and wet..
