  1. What about SKF Part # BR930304? Rockauto lists them for $138.99 each, anyone have experience with these? Blown 346, what brand do you have and are they still for sale?
  2. Thanks for the reply. I ordered a new proportioning valve and will have to bleed the brakes again once it's installed. I actually unscrewed the sensor from the old valve and pressed the sensor in while it was plugged in but the service brake system stayed on... Maybe it was a bad sensor?
  3. Bleeding Brakes on a 2004 SS?<BR><BR>Hello everyone, I have a 2004 Silverado SS and the brake pedal feel was less than par so I decided to bleed the brakes with fresh brake fluid. Before I started there was no light or messages displayed on the gauges. After I blead the brakes I had a message in the DIC that said service brake system. I searched all over the forum and internet and most people said I need the techII scanner. After I called the Chevy dealer they said I did NOT need to bleed the brakes using the techII scanner and gave me a printout of the correct procedure. I followed the procedure with the same results. I found out if the connector going to the brake proportioning valve sensor is unplugged the message on the DIC will disappear. I removed the brake proportioning valve and inspected it for defects but none were found. Has anyone else had similar problems when bleeding their brakes? Any help is appreciated.
  4. I took your advice and used a pick to scratch and expose the copper wire on the circuit board. Then I soldered the stepper motor pins to the circuit board, using a generous amount of solder to ensure the pins and exposed circuit board were in contact. Plugged it all in and it worked. I don't know how permanent it will be but thanks again:)
  5. Thats an idea. Im not sure if i can expose any of the metal on the upper left pin hole. I will try that tonight. The scratches are surface scratches only, i dont recommend using a craftsman professional solding iron to do electrical work... FML
  6. Hello everyone, I was replacing the steppermotors in my 2004 Silverado SS gauge cluster and the speedo stepper motor gaveme a lot of trouble when I was desoldering it. I ended up burning the circuitboard and damaging the contacts where the solder attaches to the circuit board. I need some advice on how to repair the damage or where to buy a newcircuit board. I got a feeling a used gauge cluster is probably going tobe my solution but if I can salvage this one that would be great. Check out the pictures.
