Talk about your "whoops" moments

I tried to toot and made a poop.

edit: oh wait, this wasn't a "post your whoops moment" thread.

i've never had a suburban with a "heavy" brake pedal. what i've noticed to be somewhat common on the 90's ones a few of mu customers have, is that the pedal is low, and mushy.
 when i check the calipers with a pressure gauge, they've got plenty of pressure. the rears are properly adjusted, and lock when "prompted".  
even in the rain/snow none of them have any problems, besides the low/mushy feel. it's not THAT mushy though.....just not good and solid feeling like we're used to feeling in most vehicles.

Yes I used to HATE the mushy brakes in those rear drum chevy trucks.  The best thing they ever did was switch to four wheel disc (and then switched back to drum later on LOL!)

Every drive a mid/late 90's S10 Blazer?  The ones with 4 wheel disc stopped so much better than the ones with rear drum.  The difference was like night and day!  Also you could always tell when those blazers tires were low... at 30 psi they cornered like a bunch of mexicans were stuffed in each wheel well.  At 35 they cornered very nice - at least the ones without bad idler arms did!

 yea, i remember them. i've actually got an s10 i'm about to put up for sale....it's a pickup though.

 the drum/disc stop decent enough when they're unloaded, and when it's your "average joe" driving them. but yea.....when someone that really drives them gets behind the wheel, it's night and day.

 i never understood why they went back to the disc/drum on the suburbans. must've been a union thing.
