Brake questions.

Something not working right?

Has anyone experienced their brakes seeming to be week until they "pump the pedal". I know that the pads should still be good, replaced them last year.

If the brake fluid is fresh then you are experiencing the infamous trailblazer brake pedal!

Fresh fluid and convert your rubber lines to braided SS ones has helped.

As far as anyone is aware was there any changes in the brake setup between the years? ( NOT ext vs non-ext)
