Brake Problems
Hey guys,
So i have a 93 3.slow with 35" tires, and today my brakes were acting real feisty. The brakes aren't that great to begin with trying to slow down those big meats, but today I was literally standing on them and barley stopping. The front pads arent in great shape, but are probably at 20% left or so. Rear shoes was inspected last year and replaced aprox 2 years ago.
No squeaking or rubbing, and that soft push on the pedal became me standing on the pedal very fast. Checked the fluid reservoir, seemed at a pretty good level. Since there doesn't seem to be leaks, Im thinking brake master cylinder is going bad? The truck is just shy of 200k miles, anyones thoughts?
Thanks

i would say you gotta bad brake booster... check your vacum lines first if there good then you should just change the booster. could probably get one pretty cheap at a junkyard with the master on it or can spend anywhere from 120 to 240 online for a new booster alone

I've had the same problems. I found a booster off a 92 non 4wd. I have e a 95 with 4wd. Would a simple swap help? I already know my booster is bad so I figured it's rare for them to go out. So I got the 92 booster for 40 instead of 200 but I want to know if it will work. It's from the same Gen so I figured it would.
