Good luck trying to get reasonable pedal on these trucks. They were crap when they were new, and there isn't much you can do about it.

I can't find the specific campaign, nor can I remember what year it was for....but we were doing a campaign on some of the older trucks that involved three things. First, we had to check vacuum at the booster and verify that it was within their spec, second, we removed the brake master cylinder and measured the booster pushrod with a go/no go gauge and if the pushrod length was not correct....GM supplied an adjustable pushrod to bring it into spec. And the third item, (you will laugh at this, I know we did), you remove the brake pedal rubber pad and installed a new one that was about 2 inches thicker. Hilarious.

Anyway, I think I still have one or two of those adjustable pushrods kicking around in my box. I should probablyhttpp one off to Doc and he could experiment with it.

So GM did have a campaign on brakes? I will have to see if one of my friends has anything on it .

Ooooops I just read where he had problems again ......
