[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 16419831, member: 184279"] LOL, you took it to a dealer and they can't fix this??? That is ludicrous. I owned two service stations and have probably done thousands of brake jobs over the years. What u r describing should be basic troubleshooting. You've already temp'd it, which would have been my first recommendation, so you've located the 'trouble' area. Now you just gotta isolate the issue. I would jack up the vehicle and try rotating that wheel by hand. It 'should' be stiff, but if it isn't, drive around (locally) until the trouble (or heat) starts, then come back and jack up that corner again and try rotating the wheel. If the wheel is stiff, I think I'd first try cracking the bleeder just a little to see if there's any line pressure. If fluid drips out, that's OK, but if it flies out and then slows, and the wheels frees up, then there's your issue, likely ABS or line related. If fluid pressure seems normal and the wheel is still stuck, start removing parts until it rotates somewhat freely. You have posi rear end, so it will not rotate completely free, there will always be some drag (from the other side). Once you get the offending part removed, you can now carefully examine the part(s) and determine what's causing the issue. It might be best to remove the driveshaft for these tests while jacked up, not 100% necessary, but it eliminates one more thing and should let you rotate easier by hand. I will add that I have seen some remarkably poor work done by all kinds of techs, even the so-called good ones, so your issue could be something VERY basic (which I suspect). If you were around me, I'd put your car up on my lift and we'd have that sucker fixed - GUARANTEED (unless it's an ABS issue, which dealer should have seen). Good luck [/QUOTE]
