Default RE: New here/Problem...

Ok guys, here goes...I finally got to work on my truck, with yall's suggestions and the suggestions of a few others that i trust I've got a new anti-lock booster as well as a new master cylinder. My brake problem is still there, I've got a new hydroboost coming on monday, if that doesn't fix it I dunno...I guess it'll go to the dealer...any other ideas?

oh yeah, does anybody know where the airbag impact sensor is located? My airbag light is on, and there's some wires unhooked under the hood, just wondering where they might go....

For your brake problems, I would replace the rubber lines from the caliper to the steel lines. I've heard that if those go bad (swollen) that will also cause the brakes to hang. Since the line is swollen, it takes longer for the fluid to release from the caliper, thus hanging the brakes.

A guy that lives up the road just had this happen. He replaced the calipers, pads and master cylinder and nothing worked. Replaced the brake lines and that took care of the issue.

Just my .02, good luck

New hydroboost fixed it...that truck will flat fly now, it even stops when you want it to and not all of a sudden!
