Re: 96 suburban 3/4 ton brakes stink

Our 95 Silverado also has poor brakes, nature of the beast I guess. I've redone all four wheels and bled and flushed the fluid, nothing seems to make any difference.

First, the 3/4 ton uses a Hydro - boost system that has a completely different pedal feel.

Next, the rear brakes must be adjusted properly.
Also the proper rotor finish and burnishing process must be done to insure adequate rotor/pad surface area.
