So, as some of you may know, the Midwest is currently sitting smack in the middle of a polar vortex. 8" of snow followed by 15 below zero ambient temps reaching down to 35 below wind chills.
I'll start by giving credit where credit is due: My Jeep started an ran with little complaint, however this morning I was greeted by a bright red BRAKE warning light. The pedal felt fine, so I made my way to work. Come to find the master cylinder reservoir was just below the "MIN" mark... oh great.
I took a quick peek underneath and sure enough... BOTH front calipers are leaking from the piston seals. This is the THIRD set of reman's I've installed, and the issue always appears in sub-zero temps. The calipers came from OR, however I can't imagine they're any different than what I'd get from AZ or Napa. They're under warranty, of course, but c'mon.
I don't plan on dealing with the issue until it warms up, as I won't need the truck for the next few days. Color me annoyed, though!
