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]

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.

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 did think that.

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.
