Wheel could be out of balance

 

Im thinking caliper as well, wouldn't make sense for a wheel to be out of balance as it only happens when you're braking. with everything else being replaced id swap out both rotors and see what happens.

what does the pad wear look like on both sides of the fronts? you should be able to see some cupping or differing marks on the side in question.

 

Had an awesome weekend in SE Utah around Blanding and Bluff. Off-roading, a big dinosaur bone in situ, dinosaur tracks, 6 ruin sites, 10? Petroglyph/pictograph sites, about 500 shards of pottery across different locations (which we did not keep of course). And perfect sunny warm weather. Mid 50s during the day. We didn’t camp cause we thought it would be too cold at night, it wasn’t and we should have.

Large dino bone S of Blanding

Butler Wash dino tracks

Target Ruin

Old Highway between Cottonwood Wash road and county road 263 rated 3.0 of 5.0 on the jeeper off-roading scale. Rocky but not bad.

Tower House ruin
Old Highway petroglyphs

House on Fire ruin

Moon House ruin - really cool place

Cool breakfast spot along the San Juan river

River House ruin and pictographs


Butler Wash petroglyphs (Kachina panel)

House on fire ruin is one of my favorites. Especially mid morning when it's glowing orange.

 

It’s was pretty, but I think the Moon House was our favorite ruin and the Butler Wash panel was amazing like 50 yards of continuous petroglyphs and a shit pile of cool pottery shards to look at.

SE Utah is an amazing place

 

yeah those are awesome as well. Natural bridges is really cool too, very underrated. Lot's of fun stuff to do down there.

 

Will do, after receiving some counseling via @Gunshot-6A I think its my front right caliper. I ordered a brand new caliper from Karl Malone that should be here Friday. Scheduled to do the job Saturday.

 

By the way, picking one of these up today. But, thought I'd spread the word.

Do those jackstands go high enough to get you tire off the ground? Thats a common 3t stand issue with our trucks and bigger tires.

 

Not quite sure but already bought it so I guess I'll find out..

 

Says they'll hit about 20"

 

How would you guys feel if you got your truck back from the dealer and noticed this? Nobody told me anything..I just found it while washing the truck today. My truck was in two weeks ago getting new headlights and this is one spot I know they have to pop off to unbolt one of the headlights bolts.

 

not good. especially since super technically, your tech should've gone over the truck with you and noting any damage before they took your truck in. So if you can prove that it was them or if you can especially show it on their own cameras, then yeah...i wouldn't be happy and want them to fix it properly. that sucsk though.

 

That's the shittiest touch-up job I've ever seen. I'd be red hot. Take it right back and climb up the ladder -- don't talk to a shop boy go straight to the GM. Figure out what you think is a reasonable resolution before you go in (a new bumper? re-paint? Cost of a new bumper and just buy that aluminum one you always wanted?) and don't settle for less. Man someone would be getting an ear full. What dealership?

 

Wow that’s ugly. Sorry man. I’d give them a chance to own up to it, and if they don’t ... it’s time to Karen all up in that dealership.

 

Y’all are way more patient than I am They had the chance to own up to it when they made the mistake.

 

Yeah, I've emailed the manager about it today along with pictures when I noticed it. Kept my cool for now. I've been screwed over by just about all the Toyota dealerships in the area...just really getting tired of them. I'm not even mad at this point, just disappointed. But if they fess up to it, its just going to be more time, gas and miles wasted on my truck going there to let them fix it. The thing that gets me....is like the person had to have seen my truck and noticed the work I've put into 'building' it. Why would they think it would go unnoticed? Specially a hack job like that...

 

Great pics! How much time did you spend in our beloved state?

I’m so in love with Southeastern Utah.

 

It was just a long weekend. This is the second long weekend trip to that area this year. SE Utah is just under 5 hours from me. I’ve never lived in Utah but I’ve probably made 15-20 trips there in my life.

 

That sucks man. I’d be so pissed. If the dealerships worth there salt, then they’ll take care of it.
