Hi There, I resently did my brakes all the way around my truck. New rotors,pads, drums,shoes, and flushed brake fluid. After about 2 weeks it started to pull hard to the pass side while breaking. After this I thought it might be a siezed caliper or bad flex line, so I put new calipers, new flex lines and new pads on both sides. After about 2 weeks again it started to pull hard to the pass side under breaking. Has anyone had this same problem? Anyone know what might be causing the problem? Could there be a problem with the ABS. unit? Let me know .

1999 S10 Extreme- Bled brakes over @ over, switched rotors left to right, switched flex lines left to right,switched calipers left to right, changed ABS unit, even changed rear wheel cylinders. Right front wheel is hoter than the left and also has more brake dust. STILL PULLING TO THE RIGHT!!! ANY SUGGESTIONS? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Good luck, my S-10's right front always did more braking than the left front. It never really pulled hard or anything but the right front wheel was always twice as dirty as any of the other. I had pads, rotors, calipers, and portioning valve (or whatever they are called) replaced several times and nothing made it better, but it was never really that bad either.

the right rear drum/disc if ZR2 could be actually pulling the front to the right, it might not be the front pass, it could be the rear pass doing it. can't count how many times i've noticed the sliders locked up and the caliper is not centering on the rotor, wearing out the inner or outer pad and making it pull to one side wicked bad. tear it apart and see what is going on.

If the right front caliper is causing it, the wheel will turn hard right if you let go of it and brake from about 30 (empty parking lot recommended).

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      If all oil manufacturers had to meet a higher standard for not just the initial filtering of the oil but that they had to improve on their formulation so that the oil cleaned the engine such as the Valvoline R&P or the new Mobil product ( assuming it works similar of course ), and the oil was changed on an interval based on good UOA data, there shouldn't be any gremlins running around like miniture rats on top of your heads to be washed down into the oil pan below 😁

      A while back on another thread there were comments and thoughts on air filters and I know that can tend to be a bit of a hot topic because of outfits that have a vested interest in selling aftermarket air boxes fitted with the gauze type of oiled elements touting the lower air restriction. However and unfortunately I don't know where I have seen the test results in the past about the amount of dirt through a test procedure that these style of filters do pass more dirt through than a properly designed ( not some cheap Chinese knock off ) paper/synesthetic media filter can do. Lake Speed had a conversation on that topic with one of the employees at Donaldson and there seemed to be a consensus of these oiled filters falling short in the absolute percentage of dirt holdback.    Which all ties back into how good the air filter is on the engine at keeping dirt out as that is going to reflect as a contaminant introduced into the oil as well as cylinder wear even if some of that dirt does find its way out of the exhaust rather then the crank case. Put another way that one can throw the kitchen sink at filtering the oil and using a bypass system which I fully expect will do nothing but good for the oils contamination but if the air filter system isn't doing its job then its preventing the engine from reaching the best wear/lasting case scenario instead.    Now perhaps this topic is or isn't for this particular thread but Grumpy Bear or anyone else for that matter, do you have access to some scientific trust worthy testing on engine air filter types to get some proper comparison data to post up.

      WOW, something we agreed on. I only bought at sticker twice. A 94 impala ss and an Acura intagra type r. Made money on the first. Still have the second.

      I prefer new, but not without a deal. Historically I've bought severely aged new inventory, leftover model year, unpopular configuration kind of stuff that sits around on dealer lots until they just want it gone. $10k off MSRP kind of stuff on a mid-priced truck. That really, really helps knock down that first year depreciation. It also requires being somewhat flexible on colors and options. I wouldn't buy a 4 cylinder if I was looking for an 8 cylinder, but if I got blue paint instead of black, or a great deal was lacking a minor option, I'm willing to overlook those things for savings.   Used <> used. Condition and history are everything. If I'm buying used I'm looking for cream of the crop. The truck from the guy who religiously pampers it, and then decides a year later he wants newer and nicer. NOT the ex-rental vehicle, or the crew cab traded in by the family with 7 kids who like to throw food, and the oil only got changed when there was time long after the oil life monitor started alerting.
