So the Dodge is eating brakes. A set about every 12 months. The odd thing is this last time round it only killed the driver outside pad. The pad on the back of the rotor still had a bunch of life.

Last year I replaced the rotors and pads. Sprung for the good ones since I was replacing everything. Just had the rotors checked and they are not warped.

Time to rebuild the calipers?

Not much else it could be as far as the one side goes besides the cals if the rotors passed.
Is that the side that has the loose bolts?
You may be using the top of the pedal more than the bottom as far as wear goes. You do drive it like it's a car and then sometimes like a car that's pulling a trailer +

true...

And yes its the same side but I picked up the bolts from Dodge and then did red loctight... Pain in the butt to get loose on tues night.

Did I mention we're going wheeling on Saturday?

What about the sliding pins? your caliper needs to slide side to side seeing how there is only one piston the side of the caliper. Itsn not a four piston caliper is it? One sided calipers have to side easilie to use the same pressure on the brake pads. So i say check the sliding pins and make sure there greased up nicely.
For the price of a rebuild kit for the caliber you can in most cases buy a remaned one for few bucks more. If you didnt replace the caliper last time than maybe this time wouldnt be a bad idea. My 2cents

its a 2 piston as far as I can tell from what you are asking.

Yeah, yours is two. I believe the pins he's talking about are the mounting bolts with the rubber boots around. Those are supposed to be a little lubed up.

Correct
