Angry I'm Tired Of My Brake Problem, Someone Help Me!

I've had it, and I'm fed up with my brakes! For some reason my brakes suck, the BRAKE light is always on and it's like I HAVE NO PEDAL! I've replaced the master cylinder, bled the brakes a million times and I don't get what could be the problem????

The brake lines and hoses seem fine since I get fluid through all of them. I'm stumped!!!! The only thing I've done was a hotcam kit, but that has nothing to do with it, I've had the E-Brake applied for about 4 months while in the garage, could that've done something? Or maybe I've forgot to hook up a vacuum line for the intake??? Any suggestions????


THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO TAKES THEIR TIME AND HELPS ME!

It is possible that the Master cyl is failing, I had 2 bad ones in a row, and now im looking at puting on a master cyl from a 95 astro van. You bled all 4 tires and up top ? Pads look good?

have you double checked your vacuum lines? i doubt having the hand brake on for 4 months caused your problem, cause i had it on for the same amount of time and its fine. make sure your lines are plugged in and in the proper location i suppose would be a good start. hth

You might want to delete your post and repost without the vulgarity in the "topic". All you are doing is forcing Brent to have to go into the system and fix it.

I had a similar problem in the past and it wound up being the brake booster assembly, which sits between the master cylinder and the brake pedal.

Doesn't the brake light only come on with the e-brake engaged? If so, there is a switch just below the e-brake assembly that could be shorting out. This shouldn't cause braking problems like you've described but could be the cause of your light.

Brake light also indicates pressure difference front and rear...

Thanks, Fred!

Yes, there is a reason there is a language filter activated here so please do NOT over-ride it.

Slo-Mo, lets leave the scammer type posts in the for sale section... there is no need to bring that in into the LT1 Tech forum in cases like this.

I just got back from my Bank. I got the form the Toledo police sent me notarized and signed. Time to send it back to the police so criminal charges can be filed.

Last chance to refund me before you regret this.

Here ya go Paul. Have a nice day!
I also emailed you a copy of this

Thanks, but it's not the light I'm having a problem with. It's the brake pedal, there's almost no pedal! If I were driving at a high rate and stomped on the brakes it would take forever to slow down.... Luckily I don't tail gate!.....Hmm...
