Until you own a truck with the drum brakes, you have no idea how cheap and of poor quality it is. They pulsate, surge, and make noises. The pulsation is sometimes very bad then sometimes bearable. It makes no sense to me.
It was an improvement in braking power, but a downfall in precission, smoothness, and sporty style/ looking brakes.
I will never buy another GM truck until they redesign them or swap back to bigger rear discs. That should let you know how I feel about them and the experiences I've had with them.

They might go back to all drum with no self-adjusters...retromobile


I didn't know they had were having problems. You'd think they could do all disc with those ss lines that give the better pedal feel
