Brake pedal issue

This thread makes my head hurt .

 

I did that and they said first we have to put everything back to OEM parts. That would be 2k

 

Also, why did you buy a truck with fucked up brakes, and wait this long to address it properly?

 

I’ve been trying to adress it for a long time now if u look on my profile i have posted abt it multiple times.

 

Then go to a new dealer or a better shop. If you paid any shop to still have the same issue (especially more than once), you fucked up.

I could be wrong but I don’t think Toyota dealerships refuse to service vehicles with aftermarket parts unless you’re trying to get it covered under warranty. What backwoods shops are you taking it to?

 

Seriously not trying to be mean or harsh. But I would never pay someone to not fix my issue I came in for. That’s like getting a vasectomy and knocking a girl up and the doctor being like idk man. Sorry.

 

I never ended up paying anyone Bc nobody could find the cause. The Toyota dealership isn’t refusing service but they are saying that putting it back to OEM parts is how they have to do it before trying to further diagnose the problem.

 

How did you adjust the rear shoes?

This is the correct way as per Toyota manual:

 

What does the truck have now that is aftermarket? IMHO there is no reason to use anything other than OEM when it comes to these trucks.

 

I'm thinking they want to put the brake system back to all OEM . They must not like what they are seeing he did .

 

Please put the spacer in it that will be a good way to lockup the brakes and will be a benefit to all around you because the truck won't move.

 

Seventeen logic. So far he's ahead of where I was at that age.


At 17 I bought a Cadillac. "It's only knocking/dieseling a little. I'll just buy 20 bucks worth of carb cleaner and sea foam, she'll last another 20 years."

 

I put in aftermarket parts because they have warranties, the OEM are also way too expensive

 

yes thats how I did it. is there any way it could be the ABS module?

 

So at the moment how much have you saved by using aftermarket? Some times going cheap on front end will cost you in the long run.

 

It could absolutely be air in your ABS pump, which you can't bleed using a pedal bleed. Ideally a bi-directional scan tool, but if you're desperate or cheap, you can do a red-neck ABS bleed.

 

an OEM master cylinder alone is over 1k. I've saved at least 1.5k in doing the aftermaket parts vs OEM

 

and you still have issues

 

I got it bleed by a shop but it didn't change anything. I'm thinking of taking it to another shop, maybe someone will know what to do.
