- What's the worst that could happen?
Been reading through the brake forum and it looks like the first thing I need to do is check the rears to make sure the star wheels are not f-ed up. Tried the reverse stop today four times and nothing changed.
Pedal goes to the floor. Pumping doesn't really change anything. I can hear the air escape ( whoosh) when I depress the pedal. Engine off depress is about an inch or two.
It still stops, but I'm not sure what would happen in a panic slam-on-the-brakes situation. I have had a brake line blow and understand what that is like as far as response and it kinda feels like that.
In 2010 at 212,000 miles the rears were serviced including rear shoes, resurface drums, rotors, replace rear cylinders, spring kits, etc. The truck sat from about 2011 until 2017 and currently has about 216 and change.
So this is another area in which I have no experience. Can't wait...
