Re: Front brakes dragging 1988 k2500

Thanks for the reply! I had read about the hoses going bad, and when I last drove it and the wheels got hot, I cracked open the bleeders. The fluid did not squirt out, so that made me suspect the calipers. I’m not sure if that is a consistent test for bad hoses, one bad hose may act different from another? I think the problem was that I jammed the calipers on the brackets. I have never ground down a caliper to make it fit, just hammer it in place. I haven’t done many and this is the first time I noticed a problem. Last night I ground off some so they are free from the bracket. I’ll know for sure if that fixed it when I take it for a drive.
