A good friend has a 1999 Ford F250 super duty. It has four wheel disk brakes. He uses the truck lightly. It has about 115k on it. He has already had to replace the rear calipers twice. Both times the adjusters where stuck and could not bee freed up. Another neighbor has a ford F150 about the same age. He has had trouble with his rear brakes too. He told me that the Ford mechanic told him to use the parking brake more as it keeps the adjusters freed up. Have any of your heard this???
My brother has a Chevy 3500 Diesel. It has four wheel disk brakes. He likes the stopping power but does not like the maintenance required. He pulls a trailer a lot. He sometimes will not get 15,000 miles between having to replace the rear pads. He also said to really watch out if driving in the rain as the stopping power really seems reduced when the rotors are wet. Again what have you guys experienced with these.
The reason I am asking is that I have found a 2008 Dodge diesel that seems to be a good buy but it has four wheel disk brakes. I don't want to have problems with it as I will be using it to pull trailers the majority of the time.
If it where not for the license cost I would just buy a single axle semi tractor and lighten the springs for a better ride. Then just use it to pull my goose neck trailer.
