That's alot of weight.

They just bled the brakes, and it still sux.

What’s the deal with the brakes were they always crappy or this is something that happened when the engine work was done?

I know you were planning on upgrading them, before your parts got stolen ... argh. So are they stock now? Are those steelies 17”..? You can do the NNBS upgrade on the cheap. [emoji16][emoji106] I’m quite happy with mine. OTOH, I don’t have a cammed 6.0 in mine either.. [emoji16][emoji631]

That's too much weight. Do you know if they tried to reposition that tire on the wheel? When they called for that much I would break both beads and spin the tire 180 on the wheel to see if it helped. It usually did. I would not accept that.

I do have the nnbs fronts along with the braided lines. This started when he cracked the system to do the rear lines. I can understand if they can't do anything with it, but not to make it worse then what it was before I got here.

I did think that.

They were always good. Got terrible when I had the rear lines done.

Bet they got air in the ABS when they did the lines. The brakes on my 03 Burb were terrible. it was not uncommon for me to have the pedal hit the floor and need another pump. 4 quarts of fluid later and a few hard stops in gravel made an improvement but never as good as they should have been.

I don't miss that truck.

Oh damn that sucks, might have to bleed it more back when I had the Escalade and had the SS hoses put on they had to bleed the rear brakes a lot the fluid was nasty

why did they put the weights on the outside anyway? I would go back and have them do it right

The problem is this is a new place and everyone is young and new here. I should've went to the other, older spot.

F it. Running these for the winter. I'll worry about it another time. I had an 8 o'clock--I'm still here

find the manager and ask him, say, hey would you do your own wheels like that? not acceptable only takes a few minutes to fix that

There's an automated bleed on the ABS module but you gotta have a scan tool to do it. And that will get the air out of the module

They put the weights on the outside of my LTZ20s pisses me off but not enough to go ***** about it. I wish people still cared

Or had a clue....

Thats asking to much

I am usually standing there watching them work, a couple times in the last 20-30 years someone went to or did put them on the outside and I stopped them and said I want the weights on the inside. usually it was some young kid, they learn they end having to do the work twice if they don't do it right the first time. Maybe I have been picky about it because I normally always have aftermarket wheels.
