The driver side front caliper on my 02 LGT has been sticking periodically over the past few days and I've run out of ideas. In short, everything has been replaced w/in the past year except the master cylinder. I'm going to make sure the caliper bolts and slides are well greased but short of that, any suggestions what's going on?

When you say you've replaced everything, do you mean you did the calipers themselves? Sometimes they just seize and then you have to replace or rebuild the caliper itself.

Calipers are "new" meaning rebuilds from napa along w the hangers. It's possible they goofed something up

Did you grease up the slider? or make sure they were? get another, napa should have a warrenty

If the caliper has been sitting on a shelf for a long time, the slide pins will like need regreasing. Shouldn't take too long.
