Sorry , I lost my connection just as I was posting, Black clouds over my head.....Anyway as I started to say 05 2500 hd 4wd automatic duramax 30,000 miles purchased new . About 2days ago while driving I go to make a normal stop and my brake pedal goes almost to the floor. At best I had about 25% braking power left. I got pulled over and after about 10 seconds my brakes were back to 100%. Needless to say it scared the #$%@ out of me since I use this vehicle often to pull a cattle trailer.It has happend 2 more times now and I have noticed that before it happens when you apply the brakes you can fell an opposite reaction against your foot almost like abs is active. But only about one pulse . I have looked at all the obvious fluid level ,pads ect. Also no warning lights what so ever. I will end up going to the dealer since it's under warranty. Has anyone had a problem like this? Also: For about a year now I have ran h2 wheels & 285's do you think the dealer will give me any problems when they see this or should I change back to stock setup before taking for warranty service ??? thanks & sorry again about my screwed up post.......

After you get done mechanically bleeding them; Get a hold of a scanner & bleed them as well via the computer. With the scanner, you hold your foot on the brake pedal & the computer will run the ABS pump & get any remaining trapped air out as well.
