Disc Brakes (front & rear)
Problem: Brakes grabbing after 20 minutes of driving.
Suggested 1h8mud solution: Adjust the push rod
Followed the advice of a few fellow posters and added shims between the master cylinder and brake booster and then test drove.
1st shims - 4mm
2nd set - 2mm
3rd set - 1mm
In all cases the binding brake problem was solved and no more mad hot rear calipers and dragging brakes.
ONE LAST ISSUE - the brake pedal does not fully return and this keeps the brake light on an may be slightly applying the brakes.
I have a return spring and I can hook my foot under the pedal an it returns easily, but no so easy that the spring works.
There is a slight groan when I come off the brakes on a hill right before the truck rolls.
Some pictures are included - this one has the 4mm shims
Any ideas??????
