update on everything
Well the final fix is in.
the brake hose was fine, broke the line at the caliber and up at the abs modulator and both released the pressue, but to be sure blew out line with the air hose and ran a wire thru and no hold ups.
cleared out the slide pins and relubbed them, they had some sludge from heating up, so it didn't hurt the process.
next I replaced the abs modulator, well this might be a partial problem, cuz at this point I'd get about 50 miles and it would heat up and start shimming bad.
so put the car up on stands and just ran it, every thing looked fine, but after awhile it got hot again. So at this point just hosed it all off, to cool it down and shot it with the temp guage cuz didn't know if I had cooked the bearing again. Well then I finally seen that the damm caliper was just barely sticking, cut the top of the rotor started heating up and it was just sticking at the end. Just looking at it, it looked like the it was fully released cuz it was spinning . But I couldn't admit I got a bum new part.
so finally admitted they gave me a bum new caliper. It was just barely sticking and rubbing, but after awhile it got hot.
Put on the new caliper again and it resolved my problems.
Thanks for the help... Lesson was don't rule out your new part being bad !!
