Re: '08 1500 Z71 - Brake help

No update, been a hectic week at work. I've done some other little stuff that the truck needed, cleaning it up and taking the grille gaurd off the front end, etc... I plan to replace the bleeder valve that I stripped after the M/C install, finish a thorough brake bleed and asses my situation on the brakes.
I did plug a code scanner in to it. Codes indicate the TPS is a problem. I plan to clean the throttle body and re-install before I buy a new one, since it doesn't cost anything. I'll then be able to better assess my situation on that front.

I see you are able to scan the PCM. Do you have a scanner capable of communicating with the ABS? Check for codes.
