Everything has been replace with the exception of the brake lines. I have bleed the brakes three times and I still cannot get any pedal pressure. If I pump the master cylinder three or four times, I finally get some pressure. Help!, its driving me crazy! | | |

Try adjusting the brakes and let us know what happens..

I also talked to an old crusty guy in St.Petersburg who had owned five of these trucks (Chevy and GMC). He told me to adjust each side of the wheel cylinder so that the wheel is locked up and back off until there is about "a five pound bag of sugar" of drag on the wheel. He said that it will go away after about 4 to 5 miles. I appreciate your help! Thanks! | | |

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
