2001 BRAKE FADE

[LOADEDGUN]

My 2001 K-1500, normal driving, when coming to a harder than normal stop, the rear brakes don't seem to grab enough to help stop. Is there an adjustment that can be made? You have to push quite hard on pedal for hard stop.

Any ideas?

Makes sense that if you want to make a harder/faster stop, you're going to have to press harder on the pedal. Is it excessive? I don't know. Is there an adjustment you can make? No.

 

I don't know what else to tell you.

SO THERE IS NOT AN ADJUSTMENT TO REAR BRAKES TO COMPENSATE FOR WEAR?

Disk brakes are not adjustable.

Are your calipers operating correctly? You may want to remove them from the rotor and inspect them. Are the pads worn? What leads you to believe the rear brakes are the issue?
