Hey thanks for the reply. This forum software is not keeping my post. I had a Huge post. and it got I have a 20

Anyways I have a 2002 Chevy Suburban. 1500 2wd.

The brakes are almost to the floor. If you pump them it will hold a little bit but bleed off to nothing. I have replaced 3 master cylinders. I have replaced Rotors Parking brake shoes and pads. Everything in the rear with the exception of the calipers are new.

I have bled this so many times that the bolts for bleeding it are starting to round off. I have to replace them next time.

So when i bleed this it will work perfect for about 2 weeks progressivly getting more play in the pedal. After about 2 weeks it starts getting more and more ****ty.

I took this to brake check and they told me that everything in the back needed to be replaced and the master cylinder needed replacing and they needed to bleed it. they wanted to charge 1318.82 i bought all the parts and did it my self for 243 I had a warranty on the master cylinder being that i had already replaced it with in the year thinking that was the problem before.

There is NO loss of fluid in the resivor. However on bleeding there is air comming out of the port. Any Ideas would be great

Also the ABS light is on and it doesnt work if you lock the brakes there is no pulsating. I also have the traction control add on to this vehicle. It doesnt work either.

ABS light has been on for 2 years roughly
and traction control has not been working for about 1 year.

I think this is associated with the ABS being that i have replaced the whole back end and it keeps happening.

I was suggested that the ABS could be bleeding the pressure if there was a sensor that was jacked up..

If anyone agrees could i bleed this and then pull the fuse for the ABS and kill ABS once and for all.
