Brakes are ruined...
I went to the mall earlier and on the way home My truck started that mysterious shaking, so I pulled into a parking lot and put on the brakes. I noticed that when I wanted to pull off the truck was stuck like the park. brake was on. and when I got home the front right rims was dark as could be. So I sprayed it with the water hose and It was sizzling.So I'm going to the Ford place not too far away and let them work on it b/c thats the only place around here that acctually likes to work on my truck evrytime I've been there they didn't give me all this B.S. prices and stuff. Guess its b/c my mom sold a house to one of the managers and an employee there.One of the reasons I still like Ford and would deff. buy from them again.

last time i redid my brakes, the "anti-squeak clip" lodged behind the caliper piston keeping it engaged and wore the pad completely out so i was grinding on metal. anyway, that clip pierced the piston boot so I had to swap it out for a rebuilt caliper. hope yours insn't that bad though...

If you arent farmillar with how brake systems work then dont attempt rebuilding a caliper. I suggest going to the dealership b/c they have genuine Ford parts and techs that know Ford. Im sort of partial to dealerships b/c i work for one. But honestly that is the safest way to go. Believe me if a tech ***** something up they have to repair it for free, i know all too well. Most places have a parts and labor warranty anyway, so your money is well spent.
