Daily Driver DOWN!!! HELP!!! NO BRAKES!!

[highdesertrange]

I always gravity bleed first, then do the pedal pumping. cuts the pedal pumping way down. oh yeah and you don't really pump the pedal, push down once, open the bleeder let the fluid out and close the bleeder. highdesertranger

Are your pads low enough for the warning squeal tab to be making noise?

 

[v2500burb]

I don't think so

Next question would be
With a C7 brake booster how do I know which brake pads to get

[highdesertrange]

caliper and rotor determine the pads not the booster. highdesertranger

 

[v2500burb]

Without pulling the wheel and measuring is there a way to determine which pads to purchase?

well you could go to a parts store and tell them you need brakes for such n such vehicle. but don't you think you should inspect them first to see if you need them. highdesertranger

C10, K10 and K20 all use the same pads. Rotors and calipers vary, but pads are the same.

Got Bertha in the air
Tire off
Hun turns turn freely
Almost like brakes are partial engaged
Pads have about 1/4 life
Help...

is the squeker hitting the rotor? do your rotors have any grooves in them(front and back)? are your rotors glazed? highdesertranger

 

[v2500burb]

If they were hitting the squeaker wouldn't it be all the time?
No grooves

i think the way they are designed when the pressure is applied to the rotor the warning tab can't vibrate.

edit: i was correct
