Hey
CompD. My nephew has a 1996 2500. He recently had some brake work done including having rotors and pads replaced and installation of some new brake lines.
After he had the work done the truck is difficult to stop and when you push on the brake pedal the brake pedal makes some whooshing noise and goes down about 1-2" but then is firm. You can push it further than that but the brake pedal is firm at that point but the stopping power doesn't increase. If you are driving and really push hard on the brakes quickly it will slow down the truck relatively well. If I pump the brakes at low speeds it does increase the braking power. There doesn't seem to be any fade. If I do a brake stand it seems to push through the brakes fairly easily.
We did pull the front and rear wheels. The fronts looked good and the pads are engaging the rotor. We bled brakes again and their was no air in the lines. When we pulled the rears the brake pads and drum were very wet. It's unclear if the brakes are leaking or if its the wheel seal. The differential seems to be full of oil and the brake fluid reservoir level doesn't seem to be falling.
I'm down to the brake cylinder leaking or the brake booster failing but was curious what others thought?
Thanks.
