Ok,

so I'm not a total Noob. New to the site, a long friend of GM. My name is Zach and I'm from a small town in Southern IL. I own a black 2004 Sierra 2500 HD SLE 4x4 Single Cab Long Bed with a 496 and a 6 speed manual. It's my baby and I've just been looking for a good site for Gen 7 big block setups and after reading a few threads, this placed seemed like a hit. So I'm just checking in and saying I'm glad to be here.

Welcome Zack!

 

It's nice to see a new guy that posts an intro before letting go with the questions.

 

Cheers man! :lol:

Thanks guys! I won't let loose with questions completely, and I will get pictures up soon. All but one year of my life I was riding in with family or driving (only 6 and a half years [legally] but I know my fair share) a GM truck so I have an idea of how it works and where strong/weak points are. But on this "unique" truck that I have, there's not a lot of aftermarket minus Raylar and such that I was just looking to see what others have done. I hope to learn a lot and contribute the knowledge I have

That is absolutely awesome. Seeing manuals in any trucks these days is rare.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.
