Default 2003 Silverado sub-standard brakes

I have replaced all brake lines, calipers, rotors, pads and had the ABS Module re-built. Bled the entire system. My problem is the brakes feel more like the old standard ones instead of power brakes. Any suggestions?

the description is vague. This is new after part replacement?
are you saying you have no vacuum assist? do you have to push hard to apply the brakes?


if yes....do this booster test
-apply the brakes and release 4x to deplete the vacuum reserve in the booster
-press the brake again and hold
-start the vehicle
the pedal should sink lower with a properly working booster
