detjoe Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 So I take the truck out lastnight to clean the rotors off, a few 40-0 stops. The second one the pedal goes to the floor. I dont think much of it Bc when you hard stop these trucks some times it takes alot of pedal, second one it does it again and I get the DIC service brake system message! SO I try a few more stops and nothing! Get out and my front pass side is leaking like crazy. I dont know if it was the line (hope not they are SS braided) or the caliper. Oh well glad I have some new brakes sitting there Just glad I did not crash and now when I pull out my Zo6 brakes I can tell my wife my old ones were shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delay18 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Damn man that does sound like a close one! Your lucky you were out testing the brakes anyway and not on the highway or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 ... I can tell my wife my old ones were shot Tell her even though they weren't shot they were an accident waiting to happen anyways. '03-04 brakes are just horrid, the brakes on my '73 Chevy stop 5x better than the stock SSS brakes Very glad to hear you didn't rack it up. Mr. P.

Krambo Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I know the feeling Joe! I took my truck out and when i got to the bottom of the big hill by my house, the peddle went to the floor. I have NO vacuum with this cam and the brakes feel it if I am coasting and need to stop quick. Glad you were able to real her in without damage.
