You've basically cover most of my questions.
Dealer tried to do a fluid flush and said it wouldn't bleed at the RR.
I asked if they pulled the bleeder to see if it was plugged. Asked if the left bled. No responses.
I didn't think the ABS had anything to do with it initially. I also figured...
A little more research and I think the proportioning valve is part of the ABS unit. Is this true?
I do think my ABS is having issues. Last time I jammed the brakes I don't recall getting that noise and vibration.
Considering the age maybe a good idea to replace the ABS unit?
What do you think?
Wheel cylinders replaced a few years back along with all rear brake components. I can only assume it bled then. Seems like a cheap start but doesn't account for the brake sticking since it did it before.
E-brake is never used but stranger things ...
Hi all,
I have a 1997 Tahoe LT 4X4 2 Dr.
The right rear drum brake sticks. Has been doing this for a long time.
Some years back I had the rear brakes done with all new parts including wheel cylinder and drums. Problem is still there.
Pulling away from a stop light or sign, for instance, you...
You mention changing the plug wires. Have you verified the cap to plug order is correct? I am sure you did but this was one thing changed right before the issue appeared.
Verify and eliminate the most obvious and easiest things first.
Take it to a good independent shop or to the dealer.
On the times my '97 wouldn't start it was one of these things.
Fuel pump. So get the fuel pressure checked to eliminate that.
Bad distributor cap. Unlikely in your case but make sure it is seated correctly.
Are you getting spark at the...
Just to eliminate it as an issue do a pressure check on the fuel pump. There is a fitting on the driver side top of the engine. Or that is where mine is.
My '97 Tahoe ate fuel pumps until I switched to no ethanol gas years back. Haven't replaced a pump since.
Thanks for the insights.
I am considering calipers and hoses.
Rear wheel cylinders were new a few years back when I had the rear brakes done.
I was a little surprised the dealer couldn't identify why they couldn't bleed the RR brake. I'm going to jack it up and see if the brake works on the RR...
Hi all,
Long time reader and first post.
I have a '97 Tahoe LT 4X4 2 door with rear drums.
I pull a 14 foot trailer with a tractor. Total weight is around 4500 pounds. Pulls pretty good considering. A little lacking in power for the hills on the highway but I just take it easy!
Braking is...
Try a little reading comprehension before you shoot your mouth off. I stated that I had just replaced the resistor because it seemed like the most likely problem. It did not fix it so I asked what might be next.
You even followed up with another suggestion.
I responded to you not Tony.
So...
OK, the cruise control has gone out. If you depress the button to set it seems to set for a moment then disengages. Any thoughts before I just start parts changing?!

Sorry! '97 Hoe
The blower motor does not work on the second to highest speed. All others work fine. I replaced the resistor as this seemed to be the common problem but no change. Any thoughts? Thanks!
