Hi everyone.
So I have now gone through two sets of Rotors on my 97. Bought the truck in 2016 with warped rotors. First set installed April 2017 (quickstop slotted and drilled that others have used here with new pads) and they warped and second set three months ago (OEM heavy duty with new pads). The rotors are warping again in the front. My mechanic who is a LC specialist has looked over the calipers and tried to make them stick and has had no luck and sees no signs of sticking or burning on the rotors that one would normally see. Daily drive is about 5-10 miles on mostly highway. No riding of the brakes. But I feel the vibration on the exit ramps. I chalked the first set up to bad luck, but it's clearly a pattern.
Truck is not lifted.
Braking is light, no towing.
No buildup on them.
Does anyone have any suggestions of other things to check on these? Sort of sick of paying for rotors unnecessarily. I suggested rebuilding the calipers but with zero sticking and them working perfectly they seemed to think that wouldn't fix it.
Thanks for any advice!
