Complete brake job and hubs
Well.........I finally got this done. I had a bad driver's side front hub. In checking the entire drive-train, I also found a completely bad, locked up caliper on the driver's side rear. It was stuck in the closed position, so it killed the rotor and the pad. I ended up doing both the front hubs, front pads (the front rotors and calipers were perfect. Go figure), both rear rotors, brake pads, the bad caliper, and changed the differential fluids, and brake fluid. This was the first major work that I had to do on the truck. I am surprised the truck stopped at all.
I cleared the code and looks like I am good to go. Next up is the radiator fluid change.
In any event, it stops much better now.
