Lately, every time i push my brake pedal in it makes this weird squeeking noise and its bugging the crap out of me. Not to mention my brakes suck in general.

So does every other 2500 Ive ever driven. Get used to it. lol

Some of the other Chevy 2500's at my old job did the same thing. What exactly is it?

Crappy american engineering would be my only guess

You ever get this fixed? Mine started doing this about a month ago. My brakes work just fine, but the squeeking is annoying as hell.

If the squeak is in the tube, then you can drill a 15/64 hole and just screw in a zert, with a nut driver and grease it. Just a thought!

Thanks for the advice. I will use this as a last resort. You would think if this is a common problem there would be a fix that didn't involve any drilling or non oem fixes.

I have never had a problem with pedals in a GM product I have done this fix in Class eights. They all use the same set-up, nylon bushings seperating metal tubes. Any kind of contamination can cause a noise. What grease does, is act muffler, besides a lubricant.

My squeak stopped after I did the HydroBoost/Powersteering Flush.

 

[Dmax2005]

Anyone else have experience with this issue and a fix?

 

[Dmax2005]

Anyone? Still squeeking :help

 

[Kevin shulllbz]

Dropping in the the squeak have the same problem??????????

Sounds like doing the P/S - H/B flush is a good place to start. And if you've never done it, chances are it needs it anyway.

When I need to brake I turn the radio up louder so I dont hear the squeak. Only drawback to that is my ears ring when I get out of the truck after stop and go rush hour traffic.

 

[Dmax2005]

P/S H/B flush is the solution! I finally did this today, no more squeek. Brakes are a whole lot better and so is the P/S. Cheap, easy and quick to do.

I was wondering if a heavier fluid might be helpful with the steering issue.

Any suggestions on what fluid will help? Steering is so hard on this truck.
