    Any time I had a pad do that, it was because either the slides were rust jacked, or the caliper's piston stuck and heated things up at some point. Brake fluid flushes may help, but thanks to calcium chloride, the bleeders still tend to seize. I wasted a lot of time fiddling with bleeders and bleeder "rescue" tools before I came to the conclusion it's just easier to replace it all every other set of pads.

    Just called the sheriff on this jackwad....

    Buzzing twenty feet over my house isn't acceptable...you can choose a different pattern.

    Foot pedal. Just the rough draft not the finished product yet. Still need to do the floor pans

    Red cable is throttle

    [​IMG]

    Pretty smooth throttle, just a tad more stiff than OEM fly by wire

    [​IMG]

    Ignore the shut off cable Lol. Not heavy enough. After the short ride to scranton and back it seized up and didn't wanna move. Gotta pop the hood to shut it off. Probably gonna be another week or 2 before it's under a load again

    Yes I've farmed. My wife is in the house working. It's a respect thing....after I posted that he flew ten feet off the top of my house. He will fly over just to reload close enough I could throw a rock and hit him. Everyone on my road are a quarter mile apart. He has other options.

    Caliper was kinda stuck to slides. Slide pins good, and pistons retracted easy and smooth. Just worn out. I've only put about 10k miles on it in 2 years. Haven't put pads on it since I've owned it. But your right, I was planning on calipers.
