OT Pickup Brakes

Thanks,

Greg

The soft pedal I was referring to has been kind of the nature of the beast from the time the truck was new. Keeping after the rear breaks does help a bunch and normally I adjust them every oil change. I guess I seldom get the truck going fast enough or push hard enough on the brake pedal while backing up to get the self adjusters to do their job so manually adjusting the rear brakes has become part of the process while changing oil. Somewhere I remember reading that the rubber brake lines on these things give allot and people have been happier with the steel braded lines in reducing the give in the system. Might be a mental thing too (nice shiny braded lines vs black rubber).

Thanks for the input.

A couple extra thoughts- if your front brake rotors are warped they'll push the pads in a little as they rotate resulting in more pedal travel when you step on it.

Same goes for loose front wheel bearings.

Mine's a dually and I've had lots of problems with the front wheel bearings on it due probably to the extra strain caused by the "spacer" that duallys of these models run on the fronts. I'll never buy another GM dually from that era.

Thanks for the input,

Anyway, hopefully when ya get those parts replaced the problem will be gone. Good luck!
