brake problem?

leicher2500 · 09-21-2008, 01:00 AM

whenever i stop my truck it feels like one of my brakes is holding when i accelarate it lets go at random times which causes my truck to jump and also slow to accelarate? what could be causing this?

i had a caliper go out on mine. 1 pad was holding pressure still on 1 side of the drivers side disc. and the other pad on the outside of the disc wasn't even engaging... had to replace the caliper. and rotor,,, kinda $$$ but fixed the problem

mine isdoing the same only at slow speeds how did you figure out which one it was? thanks for the help

is your truck pulling to either side?

lets assume its pulling to the drivers side, have a buddy press the brake pedal while the truck is running and you should be able to see if both pads are pressing on the caliper or if one is stuck to the caliper.

at least in theory.

actually sounds like a trans issue - second gear launch? - bad transducer - just my .02

i hope not!!! whenever im at a redlight i can sometimes take my foot off the brake and the truck wont move for 45 seconds then it will jump....sometimes it doesnt do this at all.......runs fine long as im not stop and go....whats a transducer? thanks for your help

definitely sounds like your concern - it's on the valve body in the transmission - i think it costs about 100.00 - it controls the governor which in turn controls the shifting, including downshifting into 1st when coming to a stop - good luck

do i have to pull the tranny to change this?

no just the trans pan - need 13mm(1/2") for the pan - 11mm(7/16") and 25 torx to remove the transducer - also suggest replacing the governor solenoid while you are there - 2 very common problems for these transmissions - good luck
