rear brake pad question

[hammerheadfistpunch]

my rear pads are getting chewed up like mad. anyone else have this problem? what should I be looking for?

Isn't there an equalizer valve in rear lines? They can fail if someone has really stood on the brake pedal to long. Might be making the ABS pulse all the time?

What do you mean by chewed up? Wearing unevenly or wearing too quickly? Could be a seized pin or seized caliper.

Both. The pins were a little dry but not so bad. Re greased we'll see. But I mean from New to dead in 3 months

ImNot sure how the proportioning valve works in these, is it mechanical like an 80 series or electronic? My mechanic said the abs thing was a possible culprit. Is this a known issue with these? Bad sensors io something?

Buy New Pins , forget the grease , the rust pitting is a texture greased or not

dont forget the Pins retainer hair pins , total under $25 in parts from dealer , dont even think twice just do it , its your brakes and safety

No rust on the pins, just some old grease I cleaned off before regreasing, they were just a little dry. I don't have any pin retainers on mine though, part number?

These were the bad ones
the passenger side wasn't too bad.

You can see on both side there is uneven wear though.

That is pins sticking and causing the uneven wear.
Did you seat the pads correctly after install?
Do you drive a lot on twisty roads or gravel roads? The traction control system could be wearing them faster.

I just went through, 70-80% worn, rear pads going to Alaska and back, about 10k miles. There was a lot of twisty roads, dirt and muddy roads and the added weight of my trailer trying to push the truck around
