Not so common brake issue.


Recommended Posts

Posted

2015 chevy tahoe ltz with 22'' 100K.

brake pedal is soft and the car doesn't STOP after driving for a few. hit the brakes and the car rolls to a slow stop.

Replace master, booster, vacuum pump, different pads and rotors now im down to drilled slotted rotors to try and dissipate some of the heat generated.

car stops on a dim when everything is cold but not after 2 or 3 hard stops. i replaced all the fluid and now running dot 5.1 thinking im boiling dot 3 and 4 but still same issue.
all 4 calipers put well over 4000psi of clamping force when cold but can't check it when its hot.
picked up a used abs just to try it but i doubt its gonna be it however im running out of options or things to replace.

On our '05 Yukon XL, I replaced all the rubber hose caliper lines with stainless steel braided lines at the 180K mile point.  Brought back a nice hard pedal, no more 'ballooning' of the rubber hoses.  It was a kit from Summit Racing.

As much as i agree with you that steel beaded lines will with some spongy pedal feel, they won’t help me. I replaced all the above and bleed over 5 times how the service manual say to bleed the system and i still can’t get the truck to lock the wheels from 10mph. I would like the truck to work as any other Tahoe out there without/before making any kind of upgrade like that.

Don't know what else to tell you bro', but you have a very challenging problem.

You are right, it should work the right way all the time.

 

Good Luck!

    • 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. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
    • 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? 
    • 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.
