What would cause a caliper to blow out. My driver side caliper blew out yesterday and the pads were still good. I've seen them go when the pads are shot and over extended but never when they are good. Any ways I got to install a new caliper and some new shoes today. All is good now Not really what I had planned Oh well ready to roll tomorrow

 

blew out??? hydrolics or what??

 

Umm yea just blew fluid every where up in the wheel well and all over the ground. Not sure exactly where on the caliper it came from but know it blew.

 

prolly blew an o-ring outa one of the caliper pistons

 

 

Too many boosted launches and brake stands! At least you didn't run into anything or crash beacuse of it.

 

Maybe your trucks tryin to tell ya it's time for a fluid change.

 

No kidding...





This is what my brake fluid looks like after 30K miles... But when I'm done...

 

I had the whole system flushed out last summer I have about 200,000 mi on this truck so I guess I can expect to start replacing things.

 

Seals are a dealer only thing... So don't be shocked. Also the price is really good on them about $2 to $3 bucks a piece...
