It's an EB Expedition.
I am leaning towards replacing both calipers and rotors.

the calipers stick, at least on my Jeep because, the boots on the calipers rods expand and cause the rods to bind.
I had this happen when I replaced my fronts , I had to undo the install coat the the rods with a good caliper grease. I also removed 1 of the boots and only used grease. This was recommended on the Jeep forum.

they ain't the "be all, end all" that you think.. I know of lots of people that have had horror stories with that brand as well..matter of fact..my neighbor just was elated to get rid of their sequoia.. after dumping 8 grand into it over the last 18 months..bad tranny, then transfer case, then tranny again..then the engine said by by..
funny how everything went south after the 30K warranty was over.. just like most all the other brands
bottom line...
all car, truck brands... SUCK..period, end of story.. they make them to break, rot, and wear out.. engineered to fail.. it's called profit...for them..and their subcontractors...the aftermarket parts companies...
besides...they all keep guys like you twisting wrenches... |

unfortunately, that is what it's come to.. and yes get it.. makes the dealer happy.. he makes a good chunk when he sells its to you, and it's the gift that keeps giving (for the dealership) when he bills it out on the other end.. get the zero deductable... or you'll have to fork over the 50 or 100 or whatever everytime.. no matter what the cost of the repair, or non reppair... and get it no matter what brand you buy!
and make sure you get rid of it, just before the extended warranty is up! |
