| Post subject: | brake problem |
so i hade the new mtr put on today, drove home 20 miles everythings fine, drove to my moms house 12 miles and got out of the jeep and back wheel is smoking and you could not touch the wheel it was so hot!! then drove back home 12 miles and wheel waas cool as can be? anybody else ever have this, anybody think maybe just the caliper is dirty and hung up ? its fine now but i dont want it to happen again, thats just weird!! maybe i just need to clean the dirt out of the brakes? any help on this would be great,im not expert on brakes!! these are disk brakes all aaround,should i upgrade because of added weight? ok ,tell me what you think! |

only time i saw this happen was when my buddy came to pick me up and his emergency brake was still on. little bit of smoke and pretty hot. i'd take it in to a brake shop now, pads and rotor could be in pretty bad shape not to mention any rubber under there and the brake fluid |

Sounds like the caliper stuck. Take it to the dealer and have them check it. |

more than likely the caliper stuck from the use of the e-break ,seen that befor on my old ford ranger it would stick so bad some times that i would have to put it in 4low to get it to move forward and force it to release (drum not disk) however if it was smoking than i would pull the wheel and have a look the pads and the rotor may be shot my .02 |
