yes, and the abs lite is on. We r gonna try to swap out the calipers again with another set and we think that it will fix the problem cause they r reman calipers.

Cailpers may not be the problem. Proportioning valve needs to be reset to center.

If it's still going to the floor I would suspect rear wheel cylinders or a bad master.

I had TWO bad masters in one shop visit, both were remans. A NEW master and I was good to go.


Got the new one for the price of a reman too.
