I'm gonna put dynatech, magnaflow, air intake on mine, a tune and maybe lower it 2", that's probably it.
14.86 sounds good.

Man that blows, if the front and rear brakes are both overheating and warping and they already changed the booster, it's gotta be the master cylinder or the rod between the brake pedal and the booster, there is probably an adjustment on that rod.
I'll check at work tomorrow for tsb's, don't remember what's on it for distribution valve but i'll check that too.

Even if the normal 1/2 tons still had discs for 05 and 06, the 2wd SS, VHO and Vortec Max trucks for 2005 and 2006 would still have drum brakes due to their heavier rear difs.
Conversly if the 2004 VHO B4V truck had a 14 bolt 9.5" dif. it would still have drum brakes, even though the rest of the 1/2 tons had discs.
Its rear axle dependant, not year dependant.

It's still year dependant. Tell me this? Why can't the 14 bolt 9.5" diff accept a disc brake set up?????

The 14 bolt can use disc brakes, if you install an aftermarket conversion, but from the factory GM never offered the 14 bolt with disc brakes, this is why GM used the 10 bolt in the 2004 VHO B4V "Texas truck". The 04 B4V VHO texas truck was a unique truck, it coupled a 6.0L engine with a 1/2 ton trans. and 1/2 ton rear dif, with 1/2 ton rear brakes.
In 2005 GM made the VHO available nation wide, and available in Canada, now the VHO cam with the 6.0 with the 4l65e trans and 14 bolt 3/4 ton rear with 3/4 ton brakes.
In 06it came with the 6.0 4l70e trans, 3/4 ton rear and 3/4 ton rear brakes.
The 14 bolt should now not be referred to as a 3/4 ton rear as it is now available in the TBSS, B4V VHO trucks and 2wd SS Silverados as well as 1/2 ton Vortec maxx Silverados.
I guess in a way we are both correct, if GM had used the 14 bolt in the 2004 VHO trucks it wouldnt have been a disc setup, just the same if GM had continued to use the 10 bolt in the 05 and up 2wd SS, VHO B4V, and Vortec Maxx it wouldnt have been a disc brake setup because GM stopped the rear disk brake program in 05.
I hope you get your brake problems fixed.
