Re: K2500 Brake issues

interesting that where you live they test the braking on each wheel.

problem I have with the testing is are they monitoring the brake fluid pressure and measuring the braking effort. if not then this is not a good test to determine if you have lost braking effort. more pedal pressure would overcome worn brake components like the drums.

on larger transportation vehicles I would measure the braking signal as I was measuring the braking effort , to determine if the braking system was within spec.

with my 2000 silverado replacing the rotors ALL and the brake pads the pedal effort is much less to slow the vehicle down.
