The car threads seem to get the list active, so here goes another one:  My 
wife's 96 Suburban is eating front brake pads! At first I thought it was a 
sticky caliper and replaced the L front, but they both seem to wear extreemely 
fast (< 10K miles) w/out regard to type pad.  The front wheels usually seem a 
little hot so now I am wondering if something is keeping slight pressure on the 
front brakes.  I have heard of older British cars having deteriorated hoses 
that swelland act like valves, holding pressure on the brakes but wouldn't 
expect that on such a recent vehicle. Any known problems with Chevy master 
cylinder or ABS faults that keep pressure on the system?
TIA, 
Matt
