I'll know a week from today.
Any updates?
Tonight I pulled my brakes apart. Cleaned everything with Brakleen and lubed the caliper slider pins with the synthetic slider pin lube packets that they sell at the counter at AutoZone.
It seems as if the outer pad on the driver's side was rubbing against the rotor. The rotor is worn more on that side and the pad was thinner than the inner one. The passenger side out pad wasn't as noticably worn, but it definately wasn't nice and clean/smooth as it should be.
I needed to drive the truck tomorrow so I buttoned everything back up tonight.
Cross my fingers, took 'er for a drive and.... noise is still there
Maybe I will take the rotors to a brake shop and have them turned. They're PowerSlot slotted/crossed drilled rotors, so hopefully they aren't too worn.
In attempt to explain my poor MPG's, I checked my TPS. Its at 1.05V so it could use a little adjustment. Couldn't get the screws out to save my life. Even tried pulling off the throttle body but it wouldn't budge. I didn't want to try to really work it off as I don't have new throttle body seals and don't want to damage the ones that I have.
Seat of the pants feel after cleaning/lubing everything: the truck appears to coast better, but its hard to tell.
I went ahead and gassed up. We'll know in the next 50-100 miles if what I did tonight has made a difference. I'll be taking the truck up to Breckenridge (250-300 miles round trip) this weekend so that road trip will be a good MPG test.
