| The abs failed on my 1993 chevrolet pickup. when i took the truck in to get repair estimates i was advised by mechanics a recall is pending for gm abs systems on pick up trucks from 1991 to present. when i called the chevrolet dealer service dept, they could not provide any information as to what will be paid/for covered. i would like to get the abs repaired. it is a little unnerving when the abs sporadically decides to work or fail. i have spent over $300 to have the brakes re-done to make sure i can stop, but the abs keeps acting up. any info on the status and scope of the recall would be appreciated. | |||

| Abs brake problems; when applying the brakes the pedal went to the floor, this happened while towing a travel trailer coming down a mountain, the trailer caused the truck to stop, the brake would come on and go, sometimes they were alright, and sometimes they would drop to the floor, the master cylinder and differential valve were replaced by a goodyear garage about a week later.*ak *jb | |||

| Front brake lines restrict flow of fluid to calipers due to rust buildup inside support clamp attached to upper a arm. problem - steering jerks to l or r when brakes are applied quickly. after a period of time the rust builds up enough that the affected brake will not release. outside of the clamp does not show corrision. i initiaaly bled lines, replaced calipers and pads, swapped rotors, and finally stumbled on the clamp support problem throught my parts man and a mechanic that walked into the parts store. th mechanic told me he had a 1990 & 1992 model with the same problem. this effects all gm pickups,surburbans, tahoes, and yukons starting with the 1988 model year, through the 1999 model year. if this information is decimated it will save owners a lot of money. the calipers cost me $110. alone. i presently have the old brake lines and clamps, that i removed, in my possession. since the problem occured, i have sold the particular vehicle, and purchased a new gmc pickup. if you ned more information, call me or send me and e mail. bill dunnington | |||
