When should you change the brakes how many miles aboutjohn - 2007 GMC Yukon - Brakes - 10/13/2011When should brakes be change-
10/13/2011 jdlI don't know that there is a mileage spec for replacement? You need to check the brake lining material. If the lining material is within 1/16th of the backing plate, replace the pads. I've seen specs that say .o30, that is very thin. Usually the pads have wear indicators that will rub the rotor and make noise. I wouldn't wait for the noise.

9/2/2011 Spoon SportsYou may need to replace your master cylinder. Other wise i would check the brake piston to see if its leaking break fluid. If it is that's the brake caliper you need to replace. If its not your front brakes then its the rear. check the same things as on the front. If you still find nothing then you need to check the lines. Check for fluid if you find none it probably you master cylinder. Your loosing pressure somewhere. Have someone pump your brakes until you find the leak.

Im trying to find out why my brake lights are staying on as i drive and while the engine is off.black - 1999 GMC Yukon - Brakes - 8/16/2011
-
8/16/2011 Spoon SportsWhen this happened to me it was because of a stuck brake switch on the pedal. Replacing it did the trick. Good thing my friend suggested that because i was already thinking of tracing the lines which is a PITA.

8/16/2011 yboy82It is possible that your brake light switch is stuck or the wire/connection to your brake light is grounded.
