Braking Issue on 2500 6.5L Diesel

Volume 2 Issue 2 - 6.2/6.5 Issues and Answers

I hope you can help me with a brake problem. The brakes on my 2500 4x4 Suburban pull to the right when I first touch the pedal. It is only a slight tug, it does not feel at all dangerous and it stops straight. However, it wasn’t that way when new, so I know this isn’t right. I have had the front pads replaced and when that didn’t fix it, the shop changed the rotors. When that failed to solve the problem, they changed the rear drums and shoes. They also replaced all of the little springs and things on the shoes to make sure everything is like it is supposed to be. The problem persists. Can you help with any ideas about what to do next? PS We really like the magazine and consider it to be a great investment! Bill J.
