Brakes sticking on
 
hi guys,
I was just wondering if anyone can help me out with my problem?
i have a 2000 2500 silverado I just replaced the front calipers rotars and pads and rear pads,and now after i drive a couple of km's all the brakes are sticking on after it cools down a while i can go again for another while. Is there anyone out there that has encountered the same trouble and what can i do about it ,any and all help please!!!!!

did you bleed your brakes and put more fluid in also did you do it while the truck was running
and check your fluid level without the truck running or youll just suck air into the brakelines

Thank you yes i did bleed the brakes with the truck shut off, topped up the fluid. Is is possilly the master cyl the peddle and brakes feel perfect but after a short time you can feel them slowing the truck down and everything gets very hot and starts to burn the brakes.

it could be that the brake fluid you used wasnt right as in there are dot 3 4 and i think more and maybe the master cylinder has a small air bubble in it
im not tryin to be a smarta** but some people have used the wrong type ad burned up there brakes pretty bad
