$2500 is way more than I want to spend but thanks for the input

I am going to be buying rear calipers for my 03 LS V8. I know I can get some locally at Advance for $70 a piece. Anyone have a good place to buy or a brand to recommend? Car is stock so I am not looking for major upgrades. Thanks

Took it to another guy (former Ford service tech) and he has no idea. He reinstalled new pads yet again, turned rotors and put everything back together. Both rear wheels still get hot, not to the point of smoking, but too hot to touch after 25 miles. Jacked the car up and wheeks spin freely...

I htought that might be the case as well but we broke it down again and made sure everything was lined up. Oh well, the car is going to another service guy tomorrow to get his opinion. I really appreciate everyones help.

Well, still no luck. I noticed today that when I hit a bump it feels like one of the brakes is grabbing real hard even without the brakes pushed in. I still think it is something with the parking brake. Looks like I will take it to someone else on Monday.

I have a 2003 V8. Wha would a rough cost be to have the tranny solenoid replaced? Thanks

Owlman, tried what you said and I am not sure if it helped. I can hear the brake set and release but this has been the case all along. After doing this three times, I got the service brake message. Turn the car off and it resets. Drove the car home tonight and the brakes did not get hot...

I got a service brake message when I changed the pads the first time. I have not been able try your recommendation b/c the car was at the shop. As soon as I get back in town I am going to check the fluid and I will try what you suggested as well.

That is hillarious. I sure wish that bunny would fix my stupid brakes for me.

Here's an update: I took the car to a reputable service rep locally (have used him many times before). They turned the rotors nd put new pads on (the ones put on 2 days ago were worn) He said that on of the calipers had gone in slightly at an angle and he straightened it up, put new pads on...

I think they were all the way in because the caliper would not fit back on if it wasn't in enough. Am I wrong in thinking that?

I guess I should clarify, when I said that it appeared that it was too tight, both wheels were smoking and you could smell the brakes burning.

I just changed the rear brakes on my 2003 LS V8. Rented a caliper tool from store and ran calipers back no problem, made sure pads ligned up with caliper "notches". Now the problem. When I drove the car, it is almost like the parking brake is too tight. I made no adjustments to the parking...

Spray it good with PB Blaster (not wd-40) and take it out while the pipes are hot. This will help

where did you get yours at?

I have an 03 non HID that just blew a fog light. Is there a light such as the Silver Star or something similar that has both the headlight and foglight that someone is using and pleased with? Thanks for the help

definately the chicken!!!!

Wheels look great. I wanted to ask, what do you think of the CX9? I am looking at one for my wife as well? Did you buy a new one? Thanks

change your fuel filter and put in some complete fuel system cleaner in your tank. Made a huge difference in mine

Any detailers here from East Tennessee?
