Howdy folks, christian here, New member hailing from fla... have been having a heluva month with my '13 express swb with the hemi..
About a month ago I managed to find the mother of all potholes of my way to work one morning. After collecting my senses back I immediately realised i had done some serious suspension/steering damage, to the point that it ate the tires off within about 300 miles. So, one lower control arm and two alignments later, the truck is back to driving right. What I didnt mention yet ,is that after encountering said hole, I immediately had all kinds of lights and msgs coming across my info cluster. ABS light, the traction light( the one signifying wheel sensor) along with msgs like service electronic braking system, and something something electronic steering system. And the biggest problem is that the brake pedal will randomly go to the floor, but will remedy as soon as let up and pressed again. Not cool... so ,I scanned and replaced left fromt wheel speed sensor. Noticed while doing so that I had a leaking left front caliper also. So in hopes that that was my braking issue, I replaced it also. Got it all together and bled up.. took it for a test ride, and damn near rolled right out into the intersection leaving the neighborhood. I went from having good brakes 98% of the time , to a pedal that dives to the floor, but will pump up after half a dozen pumps and stop the truck, butbwill go right back to the floor again as soon as going again and needing to stop. I dont get it. It was a straight forward caliper change. Fluid bled afterwards. What changed? Any insight is much appreciated yall.
