you guys are dumbasses if you think back brakes are that important yes i think they need to be replaced as well but its not a life and death situation i have driven the truck for over 4 months with no rear brakes and never had an issue till now there is no noticeable difference the only thing the rear brakes do is keep the rear from wobbling under heavy braking why do you think the part of the res is so small for the rear and also why do you think they only put discs on the front... because that is where the load is im not saying you arent right im saying chill the **** out i will be fine and so will everyone else on the road
and no i wont be driving like that for a year dumbass 6-7 months tops
I don't blame people for thinking about reporting your truck to the police. If it's "No big deal", then WHY DID IT COME WITH REAR BRAKES!?!?! Shoot, GM could've saved a bundle, they should've just left the rear brake system off, that would've made them more profits.
Yes, you use your front brakes more, but if the drums aren't that important, or aren't used that much, then WHY DO THEY WEAR DOWN???? If I lived in your town, I would brake check you, because then I know you're hitting something bigger that weighs more than you. BTW, if you are in an accident, and they see this thread, I think they would have every right to sue you, and hopefully suspend your license.
I tried to help and smooth things over, but you snapped back. Then you go and get pissed about people who are only showing concern for SAFETY. So apparently, mere mortals who are actually afraid of dying or worse, killing someone else, are dumbasses? Well, I'm sorry, I can't just put someone else's safety at risk as easily as you do.
BTW, I had a computer issue in my truck a while back. (You blamed me for not reading your posts, even though I did. Let's see if you read this.) It caused my TPS to think I was on the gas when I wasn't. When I hit the brakes, the engine would surge, and I could feel it fighting the brakes. Sometimes it would run fine, and then would surge at a red light, causing it to jump forward 1-2 ft. even though I was on the brakes. I took it to the mechanic right away. Got it taken care of, because if they computer ever got to the point where it gave my engine WOT, my brakes would not do much, and I would put myself and others in serious danger. It was a pain for him to find, and I had to pay for hours of labor, but guess what, now I have no concerns when driving my truck.
We at GMT400 are primarily concerned with the safety of the others on the road and the safety of our members. If our members could care less about safety, we get pissed and start fighting for the people on the road. That's it, we're only commenting to try to stop an unsafe situation. Get your head out of your ass, brakes are important, ALL OF THEM!!!! Check your attitude at the door, we're trying to help.
I'll say what I said before. Park it, fix it (completely), and keep it safe.
last time i checked brake lines are dirt cheap...
