i just recently had new rotors , brakes and calipers and i put new brake lines on it and when i drive it the passenger side get hottoer then the driver side and also smells like its burning . so my question is what else can it be that is causing it. the truck isnt pulling when i apply the brakes so i cant figure it out

 

sounds like the caliper is dragging a bit... need to pull it back apart and make sure the pins are cleaned and greased.

 

thanks i will try that and if anybody else has a suggestion please reply

 

How many miles on the new brakes? If under a 100, I would not worry about it. New brakes do stink until they seat in.

 

I had my front rotors turned. Before hand the guy say's "those are hard to do". I assume because the center is sealed bearings. Well when all is said and done when I brake the front end shimmies and the pedal goes up and down a little. Is there a special trick on doing the rotors?

Thanks!

David

 

They may stink, but they should not be overly hot on one side.

OP - you should check and fix the problem.

yes... find a competent mechanic.
