1999 Jimmy Brakes go to the floor
I have a 1999 Jimmy that i bought a few weeks back. The brakes go all the way to the floor to stop and even then they are not full brakes. I changed the pads and the master cylinder. I am having the same issue. I did have the brakes bled by a friend but this did no good. They were bled the old school way not sure if you have to bleed a different way but any help. Thanks

Re: 1999 Jimmy Brakes go to the floor
Are the rear brakes ok and adjusted properly( drums I assume). Also if the system was run out of brake fluid at one time the abs must be bled, that requires a high line scanner.

Re: 1999 Jimmy Brakes go to the floor
The rear brakes are disc, but when i first tried to bleed them the rear brakes didn't even work , there was alot of air in the system but from normal bleeding there is straight fluid coming out and there are no leaks. What is a high line scanner and can i do it myself or should i take it to a shop. Also the rear brakes are working now but the pedal goes all the way to the floor. When the truck is turned off though it will build pressure.
