Default New 93 F350 7.3 owner,caliper help?

After many years of saving and searching, I finally found my dream truck. I just picked up a 93 F350 crew cab with a 7.3 and love the truck. I am having an issue with my the caliber pins falling out though. Wondering if any one on here has had this issue and has any tips. I have tried bending the tips out and still had one fall out. Appreciate any help on this issue. Keith

If it has the springs that hold the caliper in place, go purchase a new set. That will give you more tension on the locking pins.

Default Trying something new

I replaced the springs but the calipers and mounting bracket are worn as the truck has 244 thousand miles. I just tried some blue Loctite silicone and it seems to be working. I heard I can update the front ball joint and calipers to the later 93/94 model and then I will have bolts instead of these goofy slide pins. Might try to find some at a wrecker in the summer. I also heard that I can get oversized pins but have had no luck locating any. If anyone know where I can find some I would appreciate it. Thanks
