Brake caliper drag
March 28th, 2008
I don't know the first thing about brakes, but I've always wondered how much drag is normal on the front disk brakes. My pads look good as I use the E-brake mostly. I had the truck in the shop a year or two ago and the tech said the wheels have enough "free spin". As I recall, they won't free wheel more than one complete revolution if that. The brakes work fine, I'm just curious if something in the caliper return is worn and eating up fuel economy?

TIA,
Dan
