2018 Silverado 2500HD brake problems

[Edward Huffman]

Firstly, I am not the vehicle owner. This is a fleet vehicle that I service and have been having some serious problems with the front right caliper. The pads wear significantly faster than the left and lead to complete brake failure. I have replaced the caliper 4 times since this problem developed in early May of this year thanks to employees that don’t know how to report the problem until the brake pedal goes to the floor and shoves the pistons out of the caliper into the rotor, immediately destroying them and pumping brake fluid all over everything. What is causing whatever problem is leading to me having to keep replacing calipers on this one truck?

 

that said, PLEASE find a new way to generate revenue. These heinous ads are going to make me delete my account as soon as I get an answer to this question as well as direct traffic away from this forum as well as any other forum owner that sells out to google and their invasive ads and has made this site damn near unusable because 25 ads pop up every time I scroll

Check the rubber brake lines for internal collapse. However, extreme uneven wear should be coupled with a noticeable pull while braking, that one would expect a driver to report. 

 

Check the side that is not wearing out; it may not be getting brake pressure forcing the 'bad' side to do all the work and wearing out prematurely. 

 

Make sure all the guide pins are properly lubricated. Make sure when replacing pads to replace and lubricate the pad guides as well.
