Again premature brake wear for Front, Rear pads rotors, rubber brake lines, and the parking brake shoes. There is a problem with the brake system modulation between the front and rear brakes when you depress the brake pedal. It seems to me that the rear brakes are receiving more hydraulic pressure that the front brakes which would explain why the rear brakes wear out way before the front brakes. The mechanics are dumbfounded and cannot explain why this happens except to say that the brake system for this vehicle is not heavy duty enough for the weight. I also wounder if when the truck was made that they attached the wrong brake lines to the power brake modulation valve down line from the power booster and the master cylinder as these are the only original parts that remain at 123,000 miles.
