[QUOTE="pgpdnarc, post: 39964, member: 54"] I have a full size blazer frame S-10 cab truck, 454, 350 turbo, 203, 60 / 14 bolt, 44's.. I ran the factory S-10 brake booster and master cylinder for a while and it worked great. The down side was if my truck died on a hill, my brakes wouldn't work and I would roll to the bottom. I finally up graded to the corvett master cylinder, then my brakes really sucked. It would not stop for crap. The brake petal was so hard, you could hardly mash it. I then figured that is was because i still had drum brakes, so i went and spent all the money and put disc brakes on the rear. And then my brakes still sucked, no change. I then thought I might have a bad master cylinder, so i went and bought another. And then my brakes still sucked. P was by the shop the other day, so I asked him. He said that my petal didn't have any play in it and i might should shorten the push rod. Well, last weekend i took it apart and pull the push rod out. I shorten the rod enough to give the petal a little bit of play at the very top. And then my brakes still sucked, no change. My brakes suck so bad, that if you are going down a steep hill, you can put all your weight on the petal and it still want stop. My brakes SUCK. Anybody got any good advise???????????????????????????????? :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: [/QUOTE]
