Right now I'm running a generic brand Auto zone 1/2 ton - 3/4 ton GM caliper on my rear axle matched up with 2001 Dodge 1/2 ton rotors (1 1/8" thick). I did this rear disc conversion last November torwards the end of my XJ build. So far, so good, except for the fact that the rear caliper on the passenger side wants to start dragging at random moments while driving around. Everything on the brake system is stock from the booster to the Pvalve. 95% of the time the brakes work phenominally, but for some reason that one caliper seems to want to act up on occasion.
I bought both brand new and haven't cracked the system once until today. I've heard a lot of people say they've had problems with these same calipers before. Travis Lovett for example. Crappy GM stuff, I swear... :shaking: If I can find the reciept I'll take it back and get a new one or I may just get a used one from PAP next time I go. I know a JY one will work, or else it wouldn't be there. :hnd:
My vote is bad caliper. Thoughts?
