What owners say
After regular maintenence changing of brake fluid vehicle had a hard pull to the right when you first stepped on the brakes. After several mores attemps to bleed the system the pull was still there. I contacted the dealer for guidence and weseloh chevrolet said to bring it in to them. They performed a full function bleed on my truck. I drove away from the dealer and within 1 block the brakes pulled right and I returned to the dealer. Their fix was to replace the calipers, brake linings and front brake hoses. Although that seemed to work, I still felt an occasional pull to the right but thought I was just imagining things as it would not pull twice in a row. In july of 2001 the pull again returned and would not go away. I took it back to the dealer and at this time they said the ABS valve was bad. I showed them a tsb (99-05-24-001a) and asked how they would not condem and replace the ABS valve on all trucks having exactly the same part number instead of just the suburban model. Why does this tsb not deal with all the vehicles having this part number in its ABS system? I hope this helps other truck owners resolve their problems with the ABS brake system. This is a dangerous situation!!!!!!
