Brake issues again. Help please

[06xl]

I'm sorry. I read the thread and thought you said the right rear was smoking only. My bad.

Nah both rear are smoking like a forest fire lol thanks for trying to help. I think my only option is to remove front calipers/ rotors install Oem caliper/rotors upfront along with the rear Oem set-up and go from there if it is still holding which I think it will because I doubt the Wilwoods upfront is causing the issue . I then can take it to the dealer for service because they claim they cannot do nothing with it now because of the aftermarket set-up front and if something is wrong my warranty will cover it with factory set-up . So cheers to day of ******** brake work for me and unfortunately nothing can be done till I heal from my surgery

Check the shims on the caliper mounting bracket. If there are too many out not enough, it will cause the pads to drag.

I will double check that but I did replace them when I did the new calipers and grease the crap out of them to avoid any issues.

I don't think you are referring to the same thing. The shims go between the spindle and the caliper mounting bracket. They are just washers and are not greased.

Had it towed to a different shop today and they called saying SO FAR it's the master cylinder and have to replace it in order to see if anything else defected.

This may seem like a really stupid question but I'll fire away anyway cuz....why not

Are you sure you have the pads on correctly? What I mean by that is there's an inner and outer pad for each side. If you have two inner pads on one side it will cause issues due to differences in thicknesses

Never knew that burb and I completely understand what your saying but here's my output on that if I installed the pads incorrectly it should have showed signs miles ago I've been driving the truck a lot lately for the a/c usage since my DD doesn't have a/c and it was driving fine no smoke no smell no noise until last Friday after been park for about 3days prior to a week of stright driven 30 miles 6 days a week and I dont think installing pads incorrectly would cause front and rear calipers to hold onto the rotors as seen above while vehicle is on and in Gear (D) now if I'm incorrect someone please let me know

That is true. You would have known from the jump As I warned, it was most likely a stupid question
