Im broke from brakes

[yukonjacks]

I new it would be bad but I took my yukon in to have my SS brake hoses installed. Ended up with a rebuilt caliper, all bleader valves were replaced, replaced brake lines across rear axle and a section to the rear hose. replaced 2 fittings at module, a brake fluid flush, and an automated bleed procedure with scanner. (is there such a thing) $595.00 + PA tax.

couldve saved tons of money if you drove to MD where we would install them together haha. for next time think smart. carmax smart!

Carmax smart doesnt beat GPS smart, between PA turnpike tolls, gas milage and oh hell ya my time, LOL if anything you got a smile out of me ;^)

So, I know it was a lot of money but how does it stop now?? Night and day or barely notice a difference?

haha glad you laughed . you needed that after being broke haha. i was just offering free help. but as you said its a long drive. you must live deep in PA then eh ?

Ya Pittsburgh, where a pro quarterback can really **** up a good thing, and to think the joke was, Why do the Bengals use 2 planes for away games. 1 for the team and 1 for a team of bondsman, then again he did use Ray Lewis' lawyer.

Big difference in panic braking. I've had this Yukon for 2-1/2 years, blew out a brake line once already, and from day one the brakes did'nt feel this good. Just wasn't expecting the depth of repairs. I was more curious if anyone had heard of Automated Bleed Proceedure with a scanner.

haha. good one.

yeh man its bleeding through a scanner. it uses the ABS to bleed the system. heres how it works.
Automated Bleed Procedure

Two Person Procedure

Important:

* Use the two-person bleed procedure under the following conditions:
* Installing a new Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) or new Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV)
* Air is trapped in the valve body
* Do not drive the vehicle until the brake pedal feels firm.
* Do not reuse brake fluid that is used during bleeding.
* Use the vacuum, the pressure and the gravity bleeding procedures only for base brake bleeding.

1. Raise the vehicle in order to access the system bleed screws.
2. Bleed the system at the right rear wheel first.
3. Install a clear hose on the bleed screw.
4. Immerse the opposite end of the hose into a container partially filled with clean DOT 3 brake fluid.
5. Open the bleed screw 1/2 to one full turn.
6. Slowly depress the brake pedal. While the pedal is depressed to its full extent, tighten the bleed screw.
7. Release the brake pedal and wait 10-15 seconds for the master cylinder pistons to return to the home position.
8. Repeat the previous steps for the remaining wheels. The brake fluid which is present at each bleed screw should be clean and free of air.
9. This procedure may use more than a pint of fluid per wheel. Check the master cylinder fluid level every four to six strokes of the brake pedal in order to avoid running the system dry.
10. Press the brake pedal firmly and run the Scan Tool Automated Bleed Procedure. Release the brake pedal between each test.
11. Bleed all four wheels again using Steps 3-9. This will remove the remaining air from the brake system.
12. Evaluate the feel of the brake pedal before attempting to drive the vehicle.
13. Bleed the system as many times as necessary in order to obtain the appropriate feel of the pedal.


automatic brake bleeding is using the scanner. its pretty much similar to the manual way but some trucks like ours require an ABS bleed sometimes which needs the scanner.
