I've had brake trouble for a few years now. Started having brake pedal go way down before getting any resistance, stopping power is poor. I have repaced MC, Booster, disks and pads. Bled several times and ways.. Inspected Calipers and they are fine - pads are wearing evenly, however the last set burned up in 9k miles?
Finally had dealer look at it and do a compr. check on it. Front was 80 for 80, rear was 30 (specs are 48-58 at rest) and my PV has been cut short and tied up for max rear brake use (means I should actually by higher than specs, not lower).
Dealer says it's a sure sign that the PV is bad (they blame the tied up factor).
Does it make sence that a bad PV in the rear will make the front work too hard (burning pads) and the truck stop like shit? Can I eliminate the PV or should I just replace it?
Thanks all...
Mike
