If I find one caliper not sliding freely or have one that sticks, all 4 get replaced. It's only a matter of time before another one craps out. Seems to be a real weak spot on the older trucks.

I just replace all the bolts and boots and never have a sticking problem after. Twice I reused the old boots and within a year the greese was hard and the bolts were sticky.
Chris these junk wearevers do stop like right now, lol, not sure how long they last though.
One caliper bolt was sticking I cleaned it and out some good silicone grease on it. Brakes work 20x better, I only drove it 5 miles though, heading to the rig shortly, see how it does driving with those assholes in Washington and wheeling.

My post wasn't meant to be a shot at you. I could have worded it better. I was more trying to pointing out there are always improvements with newer stuff.

Your area probably has a lot to do with it too, do they use salt there?
I've been in the most extreme cold and hot and never had a stuck caliper on a GM I've owned.
Back east, sticking calipers are a big issue. i remember reading about it years back. when you're not in the rust belt, you have far less issues :rofl:

Sure as hell is an issue up here. I wish they'd salt less, maybe keep some of the morons at home hah
