'01 Prerunr Bad Brakes!!!

This is the second set of front rotors and the 3rd or 4th set of ceramic brake pads that i've changed on my 01 V6 Taco Prerunner and i still have massive warpage. my back brakes are fine, changed once.
Any ideas whats wrong???

 

I have a 2001 DC with 77,00 miles. Only on my 2nd set of front brakes. Still have origional rears. Wondering if the hot weather by you is extreme enough to cause this. Lots of hills? I notice you have Alcoa rims-do thos holes provide enough cooling in your opinion? Just trying stuff here. Give us more info to feed on

 

i bought the rotors from autozone but the ceramic pads from another place. i dont know why its doing this,, vibrating & warping. could it be that the calipers are sticking??? im very frustrated.

 

ps, no hills or racing or offroading, just average 8 mile round trip to work., nothing crazy.

 

We're talking about yours as well as everyone else's safety here. Take it in to the dealer.

 

my guess is you may need to start looking at your calipers as the culprits. sounds like the pistons in them may be sticking and causing overheating and vibrations, which can lead to rotors being warped. which rotors from autozone did you get?? duralast gold??

 

ya, the duralast gold and all the other good stuff,,, but same situation. anyone evr had problems with there calipers,, changed them or rebuilt kit??

 

what is his number and any ideas on prices? i would like to get the rotors, pads AND cailpers.

 

How do i find out if my truck has "Vehicle Stability Control"? It does NOT have ABS.
(2001 Taco DC Prerunner v6)

 

thnx. im going to change the entire system,,, how hard is it to bleed the brakes???

 

When bleeding the system, do i start on the rear right side then rear left then passennger front and finish on the driver side??? farthest to closest?

 

I think VSC only became available on the 04 models.

 

i personnally would ditch the autozone parts and go with a good aftermarket or factory rotor. just my two cents.

 

I now refuse to buy any autozone brake product. I did brakes on my wifes '05 civic we bought brand new, had 60,000 miles on original front pads, put the "good" autozone pads on it and they wore down and tore up the rotors in under 5,000 miles. I did my '06 Ranger (also bought new) front pads, tore those rotors up too. I did my 91 Cherokee pads and rotors, tore up the rotors under 2k miles. Autozone is absolute junk for brakes. I use OEM stuff now and never have a problem. All the pads were wore down just about to metal but not quite there. All wore in under 5k miles. Left warped rotors with deep grooves. No mechanical/caliper issues. And we don't drive crazy or anything like that.
