Re: Rear brake upgrade: 11” to 13”
Can anyone help???
I have a 1987 Chevy suburban 2500. It is a 350 gib with th400 trans. 4X4 it started life with a 9.5” semi floating rear. The carrier had a lot of slop and I had a 10.5” full floating rear out of another truck. Ever since I installed it the stopping power has been horrible. All of the rear brakes are new except drums which were cut and well within tolerance. I didn’t change the booster or master or proportioning valve. Also my truck still has the rear weight/level sensor and the brake lines do go through it. But they always did. My other two suburbans are a 1982 3/4 two 2wd. And I can lock it’s brakes up if I push the pedal too quickly. It is a 9.5”. Am I just expecting too much from the 10.5” brakes? Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions I really appreciate it. This is my plow truck and I’m trying to get it figured out before the snow flies. Again thank you!
