Default Need help

I have a 2001 250 super duty V10 4X4 Have replaced calipers, brake hoses and pads it is squeling , pulling, grabing, grinding, Bleed system upon repairers . Everything worked great for about two days then all of a sudden these problems began. Have parked it for now awaiting some advise because I do not want to ruin the rotors or my tires from the dragging.

Wise move not to drive it!
I would remove the wheels again and recheck everything you did.
You would want to see if the calipers are holding pressure against the pads thereby holding the rotors.
This is a touchy situation since brake system work is best left to those famimiar with brake systems.
Before we go any further, lets see just what you find upon your recheck.

Always, whenever I replace brake pads/calipers remove the caliper pins and clean them and the holes they slide into. No brake job is complete unless you do that. Did you?
They use special lubricant to lube the pins, synthetic, it cannot attack the rubber boots that protect the pin surfaces. Will wait until I hear from you.

Default Thanks to all for your help

Yes I did lubicate all componates. Turned out the back brake hose I replaced was bad But got it repaired and the parts house replaced all broken componates with new, so other than the re-tear down and the labor time turned out good. Truck is as good as new again. And thank you all for your wisdom and I am glad there is a forum such as this for the times when we seem that our back is against the wall.

You're welcome! This serves as a good reminder that all new parts are not necessarily good. Have a good one!
