k when i step on my brakes the whole truck chugs to a stop , normally i would say pulsates but i never feel pulsation in the pedal , which tells me its not a rotor , its a 2500 4x4 , this prob seems to have just occured about 6 months ago i pulled every tire off and looked and felt around for warpage or looseness but found nothing , i dont feel any abs symptoms or hear any whining , im thinking maybe master cyl. but thats an expensive journey , so thought id see if someone has any advice for me , also i seen on hear one guy said to remove a fuse not the abs but a diff one ill try that but im doubtfull , also it seems worse some days then others , seems the hotter it is the worse it gets , and no its not a caliper i checked all that

pads are great no run out on disks (checked with dial indicator ) and each rotor spun freely with brakes released, could air in the lines do this? , can a master cause these symptoms , or a booster? any advice is welcome

Sorry...bad tire. Had one on a Dodge that felt like a rotor but no pulse in the pedal. Never wore weird, never gave issues...swapped new tires on and the condition went away.

Not sure you will be able to detect a warped rotor visually. Pull them and take them in to have them checked and turned.. I think its like 8 bucks each. Cheap elimination....

Do you have 4 wheel disc brakes or rear drums? I was going to say, if you have drums you may need to have your drums turned in the rear, the shoes adjusted, or both. I only say this because if the rears were the problem you wouldn't necessarily feel it in the pedal it would be more in the seat shake type feel to it.

Id change brake fluid- with a good Dot 4 Synthetic, that will do two things- give new better fluid and eliminate any air in lines.. Brake fluid degrades quicker these days- and if ur fluid isnt water clear its degraded, if its really-dark cola colored- its junk. It really needs to be change every year or every other at worse.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
