2006 YUKON BRAKES

[6977Gregyver]

A WHILE BACK I HAD ASKED SOME QUESTIONS CONCERNING MY 2006 YUKON. I WAS HAVING SOME SERIOUS BRAKE ISSUES - THE BRAKES WOULD LOCK UP AND STAY THAT WAY UNTIL I LOOSENED THE MASTER CYLINDER. ONE OF THE RESPONSES I RECEIVED I THOUGHT WAS RIDICULOUS. SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE HOSES COULD BE COLLAPSING ON THE INSIDE AND NOT LETTING FLUID RETURN TO THE RESERVOIR. WELL, AS IT TURNS OUT, THAT PERSON WAS RIGHT ON THE MONEY. AFTER HAVING REPLACED EVERY COMPONENT OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM EXCEPT THE HOSES AND NOT GETTING ANYWHERE, I FINALLY BROKE DOWN AND REPLACED THE HOSES. AND GUESS WHAT? MY BRAKES WORK GREAT NOW. TO THAT PERSON THAT SUGGESTED I LOOK AT THE BRAKE HOSES, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. ALTHOUGH THAT WAS THE LAST THING I COULD HAVE DONE, I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU. i CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE. IF I COULD PAY YOU FOR THAT WISDOM I SURELY WOULD. I WAS ALMOST READY TO GIVE UP THE YUKON AND GET RID OF IT - TAKE IT TO THE SALVAGE YARD! YOU GAVE MY YUKON A NEW LEASE ON LIFE! THANKS AGAIN

Some people might think that driving a truck over the road is a piece of cake, and actually it is, but to...

@6977Gregyver, great that you came back and thanked the member. Best if you go back and edit this thread title, and the original one too, and add SOLVED to it, so members will alert to it and read all about it.

I will ask a favor though. All caps?

LOL Other than a stuck caliper/wheel cylinder, a collapsed hose is the only thing that I know that will cause brakes to stay engaged.

In all my years, I did see a collapsed/pinched metal line that was causing a brake apply pull.
