    Want to know if this is common phenomena with 02's. Rear calipers getting 'hung up", or emergency brakes binding in the rear. I noticed recently that the rear wheals seem to be dragging a little. Brandon over at AllPro verified that the rear wheels seemed to be a little tight when they rotated freely. Diff fluid is good, wheal bearings are good, suspension & axles looks fine. The rear brakes have new rotors and pads. Could this be a subtle fix that I could problem solve and do real quick myself, or just bring it back to AllPro and let them handle it? I'm just broke as hell right now:eek3:
    Bump for a nice shop and good people!

    Is it possible the ebrake is adjusted too tight? How many clicks do you get when you engage it?

    Other than that, It would seem that either a piston is sticky or the slide pins need to be lubed. The slide pins would be easy to to. The caliper piston would be a bit more involved but doable.
