  1. I sold my 03 SSS to a guy in the Virginia Beach area before we got orders to Germany. We are returning to the states this Fall and I'm looking to either re-acquire my ole girl or find a 2wd SSS model. I'm not 100% certain on the location we are going to next, but it may be the Tampa, FL area.

     

    My VIN was: 2GCEK19N131297244 if anyone knows how to research where she is now.

     

    LMK what you have available around Oct and if it's close to FL.

  2. Yep, I'm selling my ZHAULR. I don't have to sell her, but if doing so puts my family in a better position financially then it's the smartest thing I can do right now.

    $13.2K OBO. KBB puts her at $14.2K in her current condition. I know I won't ever get what I've put into her so please no low-ball offers. Buyer pays for shipping.

  3. Cool. for further clarification in case anyone had some confusion... the Goodrigdge kit I got was the G-stop kit 14182. the lines i used were 1/4" from Napa and the fittings on the ends were 7/16 x 24. the fittings that go into the ABS module are a different size and pitch.

  4. Update- I had a buddy of mine hook up a tech II to see whats up. The switch in the cab is working, the BCM is receiving the signal and sending it to the relay. Relay is energized and the fuses are fine. We checked for voltage at the relay and its fine. It seems the problem is in between the fuse and relay connection. We jumpered that connection and viola, the high beams came on. So that told up the problem is within the fuse block. I pulled the fuse block out but I cant figure out how to open in to correlate what pins connect where. Anyone know how?

  5. Update--- The lines on my truck were 7/16 x 24 and the Goodridge kit did work. I had to replace a few of my hard lines after two of them ruptured under the truck while my wife was about to drive her. Apparently corrosion is bad in this model Silverado. So, I went ahead and refitted my hard lines and swapped in the SS lines too.Stock fittings were mushroomed from over tightning which caused the new lines not to want to thread on like I previously mentioned. No more spongy brake pedal. New fluid+new lines= firm and even pedal feel.

  6. Well I went by the dealer, gave my VIN and it shows the fittings are 7/16 x 24 threads. I checked a line they had vs the goodridge lines I bought and they are exactly the same......WTH? So it seems (still need to verify), that the hard lines on my truck are not 7/16 x 24 so that's why they won't work. I plan on puling a line off this weekend and checking it out. Has anyone else seen different lines on these trucks?

  7. I'm interested in your outcome, having similar problems.

     

    Well same issue yet again...... Tried the Goodridge lines from thunder racing and these will not thread into the stock hardlines on the frame. I was so freekin pissed yesterday.... I made sure I talked to a tech when I ordered these. I mentioned the threads being different on the Russel lines and that my truck was AWD. The kit I ordered says it's for 2 and 4wd trucks.

  8. Out of both of my SSS's I havent had this issue bot on my last SSS. It was caused by my master cylinder. Replaced it and the brakes became touchy, and stopped on a dime. Hope you figure it out.

     

    Im am by no means an expert on Braided brake lines. But Im pretty sure the brand names like Earls and Russel are pretty much built that same way minus the name you pay for. If your braking issue wasnt fixed I doubt that a different brand name line will fix the issue. It has to be somewhere else. In my situtation, my pedal started to feel soft and like it wouldnt respond like it once did. (It took more pressure on the pedal for the brakes to actually work) Your master doesnt have to be leaking for it to be bad and not working efficiently. My pedal would firm up as long as I let my foot off a little and pressed it again. If you press the brake while in Drive, and you push the pedal down further does it continue to travel?? If so, those are the symptoms I had and the new master for around $50 fixed my issue.

     

    FYI.... If you do end up replacing it, just make sure to clean the new master with brake cleaner first. Install it, hook up the lines ( not tight, just tight enough so you done leak) and fill the master. Have a buddy or someone press the brakes gently down until they get pressure and fill as needed. Have them hold the pedal down, slowly unscrew one of the lines off the master and bleed each line separately a few times. Make sure you have a towel underneath them as it will be messy. Wear safety glasses and old clothes. I had fluid spray all over me from the pressure behind the lines.

     

    Let us know if your new lines fix the issue.

     

    Thansk for the info guys. I never used the Russell lines since they would not thread into the hard lines on my truck. Pitch was way off. I haven't had a chance to install my new SS lines yet, but will soon. I'm also going to go paruse the salvage yards for a hydroboost set-up.
