  1. It was the calipers. I took all the brake like connections loose in rear. I figured there was a blockage in the line somewhere not letting pressure out. All the connections were hemmorrhaging brake fluid, so I figured that wasn't the case. There must've been corrosion at the bottom of the pistons that were keeping them tight against the pads.They were a little difficult to compress all the way to get the new pads on, and pretty tight going on. I've had the issue before on a blazer I had, but that was while I was driving one day randomly, and not during a brake job. I also had an issue once on my motorcycle, but that was corrosion in the mastery cylinder for the rear brake. I wouldn't have thought it would've been both at the same time. It was. I replaced both, and everything is working fine now. Another lesson learned.
  2. I just replaced rear pads and rotors. Now the rear brakes are dragging. I didn't have an issue before I changed the parts. I replaced the rear center flex hose, where the rear left and right split. I was going to change the left and right as well, but they weren't in stock. I know those flex hoses can go bad and get clogged, holding pressure in the calipers. I got the pistons pushed in, and everything was fine until I hit the brakes, then it held the pressure again. Could this be in the master cylinder or ABS valve? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I need to get this resolved tomorrow so I can make my 100 mile commute to work since my daily Subaru tranny took a crap. Thanks
  3. I missed the part where you said there's only 1 dual rear option. That answered my question right there. Thanks
  4. I just searched my order history on rock auto, duh. What I bought before were AC Delco. It says 1500 base model dual piston caliper. I guess I have it figured out now.
  5. I looked it up on rock auto. All it tells me is 330mm rotor, not single or dual piston. I guess it narrows it down some though. Thanks again.
  6. Do you know if there are different versions of the 2 piston pads? If I choose one that says 2 piston, will they be correct? Some of the options (maybe all) for 2 piston calipers list that they are for 1500 HD. I guessing they used the 1500 HD calipers on the SS. Maybe the 1500 HD 2 piston calipers are different from the SS 2 piston calipers. I guess I will order some, and return if they dont work Thanks. I will look up that part number, and see if it tells me anything.
  7. I'm on rock auto trying to buy new rear pads. I've bought them before, but don't remember what I got. Rock auto has so many options, and the descriptions for the brands are all different and confusing. I'm seeing options for HD, quad steer, single/dual piston, 325mm or 330mm rotor, the rears are the same as the front for some. I know for sure they are two piston, because I looked. Are the brakes on the SS the same as the HD. Are the only options either single or dual piston? If so, that narrows it down. I'll know that i just need pads for dual piston calipers. I don't see any mention of SS anywhere on the site. Thanks.
