2005 Ford F-150

2005 Ford F-150 (Chris's)

His is silver and usually carries a rack for work.  Couple years ago, we replaced the front pads and last year he was certain that one brake was grabbing a little bit and heating up more than the other, so we took them down and examined/cleaned them.

Got a call from him while at Sparta, and after golfing all day with Mike in 95-degree heat.  Next morning I drove up there and we took the wheels off again, cleaned the little aluminum tracks that the calipers slide in, and greased everything up.  The pads were like new!  No unusual wear on either side.  Went for a spin and everything seemed great.  I noticed that on the end of those little tracks, there is a punch-tab which apparently just keeps the pad from sliding off the inside near the rotor.  The dust and grease did build up there and became like a little chunk of plastic fabric which we chased out of there before greasing.  Shot WD-40 behind the dual piston boots as well, like always.  It should be good for a long while.
