  20. 2003 silverado 14 bolt drum to disc conversion help

    Did you have to force the pads into the bracket.... Like with a hammer? It should be snug but not tight... They need to move back/forth. If the pads are too tight in the bracket I usually grind/sand/trim them down a little on the ends and the sides on the edges of the ends. Don't take too much off because you don't want want them ratting up/down. I also dab a little brake grease on the ends .

    Pads fit on bracket smooth...but once I put the caliper on its seems the pads are very tight against the rotor ....also just took it apart now and pressed on brake to see what caliper is doing and notice 1 of 3 pistons is moving and other 2 are not is that normal ?

    Oh also , I think there is a inner and outer pad on those . They look pretty much the same except the nubs out the outside of the backing . If you got them mixed up , the ears on the caliper could be hitting the nubs on the pads and not fully seating flat against the caliper ear. This would cause it to be too tight But usually you would have a hard time sliding the caliper over the pads to get it bolted in. It's still possible to bolt it on though. Since the rotor doesn't sit true until you bolt the wheel on you might not noticed the tightness until the wheel is on. You could also just thread some lugnuts on without the wheel , just to check if that's the point that it starts getting tight/ sticky

     

    Thanks for the help ..no rubbing anywhere other than the pads seem to be to tight even with out pressing brakes passenger spins more freely than driver side ...what would be a solution for this ?

    So I got a 14 bolt rear end off 06 silverado ss and had it narrowed 3 inches on each side and added the disc brake backing plates while it was getting narrowed . I got it back and I had an ssbc brake kit for a 06 tahoe included calipers and rotors I bought tahoe caliper brackets and put everything toghether. Now the problem I'm having is the rear driver side caliper seems to be sticking I put truck in reverse and it won't move until I press gas it seems to move foward better but not as smooth as it should..what can be wrong ? I've taken it apart 10 times thinking I missed something but nothing seems wrong I've greased pins and shims ? Any suggestions ? And I drove truck up the street and back home and notice rear driver side rotor extremely hot compare to passenger rear brake

    Are you running a single or dual 3" exhaust? I'd run a free flowing exhaust with any setup and more so with a supercharger.

    Intake manifold wouldn't be overkill, what did you have in mind, a tbss/nnbs or a fast?

    Look in the how to sections if they're still here, if not do a search on how to pin the crank.

    Yea I was thinking tbss intake...im running no cats into dual in dual out muffler
