Wow. It will be a lot of money. I'd try to do it yourself first. We will help you.

You can have my fuse. LMAO


LoL RMM, how much would you charge for doing all four corners? New calipers, pads, rotors and SS lines. Drum to disc in the back. Labor cost only.

If when active the noise was a grindy motory noise its the abs pump motor.

What is ABS? joke. ABS is costly, the fuse should be at any automotive shop for not too much. Has your light been on? When the fuse is pulled the light goes on as soon as the truck hits like 5mph or so. I will be putting my fuse back in for the snowy drive to work but when the roads are clear out it comes again.

Oosh. Haks, if you go to the shop, they round labor time up. It isn't fair. If you're replacing everything, its about 15 minutes per front, and maybe a half hour per rear if they're really nasty/stuck. I've never done the disc conversion in the rear, so I have no idea. I know the shop will charge you more than 1.5 hours to do all the brakes though, and they'll mark up all the parts, too. I only take my rig into the shop if it's worth my time to have them do it, like when I get a new transmission and transfer case in the next couple months.

I had something like this happen to me and could not figure out what the hell it was. I was always good on fluid so never knew what that problem was and then took it to the shop and they said my rear wheel cylinder was leaking but only when you drive it.

Im not saying its that but doesnt hurt just to check it.. .

the grinding was the ABS pump too is my guess. I pulled my fuse to stop better, ABS +
big tires = no stopping in time
