1997 K1500 F44 package which is the 14 bolt 6 lug semi float rear axle with 3:73 gears.
I backed the self adjusters off and can now rotate the drum by hand. I'm back to my soft spongy factory brake pedal.
1. How are the rear shoes auto adjusted on the 14 bolt semi float rear axle? By using the parking brake or backing up in reverse and braking?
2. What are thoughts on a GMT800 master cylinder swap? My ABS works fine and I don't want to mess that up.
I upgraded to drilled and slotted powerstop front rotors which came with rebuilt single piston calipers painted red. I noticed a much better bite after installing these but want a firmer pedal. Hell, my 1979 K10 seems to stop better than the 97.
Still love the GMT400 generation for all the other aspects. Reliability, design, dependability, fuel economy, fuel injection, etc.
