I changed everything from booster to the wheels. Brakes still sucked. I got fedup with it and put a hydroboost on it. Hydroboost is AWSOME and hands down best upgrade to truck made it much safer. Even better upgrade than turbo IMO.

To adjust up the brake linings, turn the star wheel clockwise, bottom of slot push upwards. A cheap tool is available, better than a screw driver, has a wide blade. While your adjusting, look for brake fluid, if it's there, you may have dirt inside the brake cylinders, happens when brakes are not adjusted for a long time.

I have said this before and will say it again....adjust to slight drag felt...go press and release pedal a few times...retest if drag is still felt. The princeple is to aplly shoes and recenter them as they return from being activated.

This method has worked for me for ebery vehicle and allws best contact and adjustment.

Others experiences may differ.

Same goes for oops adjust too far...back off a couple clicks...re apply brakes a few times and check again....
