Panic Stop!!!
I thought that I would pose this to anyone who might be a brake guru. I had a situation a few weeks ago that required me to lay on my brakes with a ton of force during a panic stop. The brakes worked superbly!! Well, for the past several weeks it feels like I have lost a slight bit of stopping power. I have done a visual inspection and everything seems to be normal. The brake fluid is really dark, so I do need to get that flushed, but the level is fine and has not changed. The pads all look like they are fine also. We did have a large rain event here a few days later and I had to drive through a foot of water. So, am I imagining things, or could I have done damage by thrusting my huge, masculine leg to the floor board with all my might!!!
Matt

Re: Panic Stop!!!
Maybe your brake pads are smooth ? Also was it raining or wet outside when you had to use the brakes ? maybe you warp something because it got so hot then it cool quickly. Just pulling stuff outa my ass ...

GM Trucks never really had the best braking system.. when they are new.. they are ok. but after using them a while they tend to be abit sluggish.
