frozen caliper?
I can feel my truck struggling like the brakes are pressed while I'm trying to drive. How do I check the calipers to see if they are stuck or not. How do I determine which one is messed up? Thanks for any help.
Usually the one that is hanging up the wheel will be hotter to the touch than the rest. I've had to replace all 4 calipers and rotors on my 04.
My truck is in my driveway tore apart. For the second time I lost a C clip in the rear end.
That allows axel to slide in and out. So now I need another caliper ,rotor and brakes.
Hopefully that is not your problem.
The factory calipers pistons are common to break. Causing dragging problems.

A simple way to tell which wheel is suspect with a stuck caliper is to jack one wheel at a time off of the ground and rotate it by hand. If it does not rotate easily, there's your stuck caliper/problem wheel. For the rear wheels, block off the fronts, place the truck in Neutral, and release the parking brake before you test!
A floor jack makes this much easier.
