More brake troubles... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Continuing the saga of disc brakes up front... I think the brakes are bled thoroughly. In fact, they won't release. What is wrong!?.

When I bleed the brakes at the MC, they get harder. When I bleed them at the wheels, they get all soft like there is lots of air in the lines. Either way, they don't stop the truck worth $%#t. I can't possibly lock up a single wheel, even though the pedal is hard. I even unhooked the brake booster b/c of how slow they are to come back up.

They won't stop grabbing the wheel, yet they won't stop it either. I'm to the point of fixing my brakes with my SKS.
