Well that isn't right....
After a year of the stupid brake pad wear light being on for a bad sensor I finely did a brake job and got rid of it. Just to have this happen. Caliper bolts back out for some reason. They where tight, but something happened. The slide pin was pretty stuck on this side. After I cleaned it up it seemed fine. I probably should have used locktite, but I've never had a problem before. I get nervous the bolt won't come out of the slide pin.
The crappie part is I felt something in the brakes and pulled over and looked. I didn't notice anything and then a few miles down the road all hell broke lose.
Can anyone verify the torque spec on a '22 rear caliper slide pin bolt? Gasser if it matters. I found 30ftlbs and thay seems right for the bolt size. I found some people saying 70, but I think that's a mistake and only the older trucks.

That really screwed up the pistons on the caliper, too. Sorry to see it.
According to prodemand, it’s 55 foot pounds for the guide pin bolt and 221 pounds for the caliper bracket
Yeah put a nice little gouge in my wheel too. Didn't cost me as much as I thought it would think it was a 100 bucks for a new caliper and 70 for pads. Like a Boomer I still have AAA so the tow was "free". My boss told me to call up one of my mechanics and have them come out there and fix it. I told him I'll just tow it home. It a waste of time. I spent more time waiting on parts then it would be worth it for the mechanic to come out and fix it for me.
Thanks James I guess that would explain the problem.... They haven't been coming loose though. I've checked them like every day for a week, but I'll put a torque wrench on them still now. That's what I get for thinking I know what the torque spec should be on a fastener that size.According to prodemand, it’s 55 foot pounds for the guide pin bolt and 221 pounds for the caliper bracket
I absolutely fucking hate the design of some of these codes for exhaust aftertreatment.
Back histroy. 2015 cummins with turbo actuator codes and regen codes cause customer just kept driving on it. Turbo vanes were good so threw an actuator on it. Common, right? No biggy. Welp, we have a p242f code for too much ash accumulation in the dpf that wont clear out. Really we dont, we just have too much soot and cummins has a hard time distinguishing between this. First thought is to run a regen right? Guess what, cant do a forced regen on a cummins unless it has a 1451 code in it. The 1451 code is gone because you have to clear all the codes for the new actuator and the 1451 code will clear unlike the 242f. Seems like an infinite loop. So basically what you gotta do is, lie to the computer telling it has a new dpf in it to clear the ash load counter, drive it at 1900rpm for 15 min (55mph or 78mph depending on gear) and try to get the 1451 code to pop up before the p242f code does so you can run a stationary desoot. 3rd times a charm and here i am on the side of the highway running a stationary desoot. I hate cummins and this emissions bull shit
