#6 of 10 Standing on the Brakes and still can't stop!!! by omega7441 Mar 25, 2008 (11:33 am)
Hey all,   I was thinking about buying my in-laws Jimmy (not sure of the year atm). But I took it for a test spin and the brakes are horrible with it.   After getting it up to about 70 on the interstate, I literally stood on the brakes and it didn't do anything.... Eventually you will slow down and come to a stop, but you really gota have some muscle to get this thing stopped.   Now I need to know what to check for this, air in the lines? or anyting specific to this issue. I dont really want my wife and future child in this vehicle, but I would really like for them to have something like this to travel in.   Let me know,   Thanks Nick
#8 of 10 1998 Jimmy, No brake pedal by findlaydawg Oct 05, 2009 (6:20 pm)
I recently replaced both back brake calipers. I bleed both rear brakes. But i still had no brake pedal. I then bleed the front brakes and still no pedal. So i then bleed the master cylinder. I finally got a good stiff brake pedal. I started the vehicle and depressed the brake pedal and it went all the way to the floor and wouldnt pump up. Any suggestions?

one of my brake pads on my rear driverside slid down from the caliper. the piston is fine and i was able to collapse it back down with a clamp when i put a new rotar and pads on. i drove back to my house from my dads and it smelled like hot metal i touched the rim and on the back two tires and they were hot to touch, the front were cool. the abs light was on on the way home and i was getting horrible mpg! any suggestions
