What kind of brake system does GM Silverado have?
The only thing that has not been replaced are the front brake lines. [h=2]Hydro-boost [/h] Though not as common as vacuum booster power brake systems, some vehicles are equipped with Bendix “Hydro-Boost” power brakes. This system uses hydraulic pressure generated by the power steering pump rather than engine vacuum to provide power assist.
Why do I have a brake problem on my 2004 Silverado?
When at a stop, I can feel the pedal slowly sinking. Pumping the pedal sounds like either ai in the lines or a bad booster. Bleed the system correctly starting at the bypass valve then working from the next farthest out caliper (rt rear) next closest and so on until you’ve bled all the calipers.
Is there a recall on 2004 Chevy Silverado?
There was a recall on the 04 hydro boosters. If it is hydro, look under your dash where the rod goes from the pedal thru the fire wall. Is it leaking there?
How do you Bleed brake lines on a Chevy Silverado?
Bleed the system correctly starting at the bypass valve then working from the next farthest out caliper (rt rear) next closest and so on until you’ve bled all the calipers. It might take two trips around to get all he air out. I forgot to mention that I also took it to a mechanic 2 times to have the lines bled.
