| Description of the problem | On several occasions, my f250, super duty 6. 0 diesel became sluggish and gas mileage suffered immensely. Then, with only 53,000 miles, my left rear disk brake caliper was dragging and started smoking. At my cost and on the left rear, i had ford replace the caliper, pads, brake line and resurface the rotors. Also, the right rear rotor was resurfaced. At 54,000, i make a 100 mile trip and the right rear caliper started dragging. I am not sure how to fix this since no one has the solution. Additionally, i do not have the money to replace the entire brake system. However, this could cause total brake failure and a possible fire resulting in fatalities. |
