Same experience with the C10. The 350 has a cam in it and can't produce the minimum vacuum so the discs were horrible. My wife wouldn't drive it for fear of running into someone. When I went to the hydro boost system, she thought it stopped like her 2013 Explorer. Much better... until the old crap failed anyway... 
I expect the new 4 wheel discs and all new lines should be awesome with the hydro boost system. |
Thanks for the feedback. Double E and I have measure 15.5", but also discovered a non functional booster check valve, replaced that and found a leaking booster. CPP strikes again!
This is the 3rd booster that was either wrong or didn't work. I'm getting ready to test their lifetime warranty.
