Symptoms
Pulsing under braking, squeal, or a pad-wear warning. A 6,000-plus-lb SUV that tows is hard on brakes.
The fix, step by step
- These trucks have a switch-operated electric parking brake.
- Before you work on the rear calipers, put it in service mode with a scan tool or by the owner's-manual method so the motors retract.
- Pull the calipers, replace the pads and rotors, clean and grease the slide pins, torque everything to spec and bed the pads in.
- Flush the DOT 3 fluid at the same time if the history is unknown.
