Brought the GMC over to our house from the storage location last week (HOA will not allow me to park it here) and discovered that one of the brakes was sticking.
I figured the easiest way to tell which wheel was sticking was to check the temps of the brakes at each wheel.
It took me some time to locate my temp gun and when I started checking 5 out of six drums/calipers were around 110 degrees but the right front disc was close to 600
The rotor appears to be ok
I decided to replace the caliper and hose on both sides since Murphy lives next door. The cost to just go to 80mm calipers was not much of a difference so I am going that way.
The parts got here yesterday (thank you JimK) but now I am trying to figure out what casting marks I need to grind down, does anyone have a picture?
Are ther any gotcha's I should watchout for?
