Includes anti-lock brakes, disc, drum, power and hydraulic brake services diagnostics and procedures for domestic and imported 1997 GMC K2500 Suburban cars and light trucks from 1990+.
Power Brake Units -> Bendix Brake Booster -> General Service
Vehicle: 1997 GMC K2500 Suburban 7.4 V8 GAS
Certain general service procedures apply, regardless of whether the brakes are vacuum or hydraulically assisted. Only top quality, clean brake fluid should be used. More seals and valves are used with power brake systems than with ordinary brakes, so an inferior brake fluid will do much more damage. For the same reason, ensure all dirt is kept out of the system. Additionally, care must be taken not to mix the fluids of the booster hydraulic system and brake hydraulic system as the fluids are not compatible.
If the power unit fails, the brakes will still operate, as the convention...

Hydraulic Brake Systems -> Adjustments -> Height Sensing Proportioning Valve
Vehicle: 1997 GMC K2500 Suburban 5.7 V8 GAS
Height Sensing Proportioning Valve
The height sensing proportioning valve must be adjusted whenever the valve and/or linkage is disassembled or removed for service. In addition, adjustment should be checked if excessive front wheel lock-up is experienced with a lower than desired brake application rate when vehicle is at or near maximum GVWR.
- Raise and support vehicle, leave wheels on and allow axle to hang freely.
- Remove lever retaining nut and disconnect lever from valve shaft, Fig. .
- Rotate valve shaft to permit installation of correct adjustment gauge, Fig. , ensure D shaped ho...

Anti-lock Brakes -> Kelsey-Hayes -> Description
Vehicle: 1997 GMC K2500 Suburban 5.7 V8 GAS
This system is used on all models except Montana, Silhouette, Tracker, Trans Sport and Venture. On 2000 S & T Series , four door utility vehicles can be equipped with either a 310 or 325 ABS system. Pickups and two-door utility vehicles are equipped with 310 ABS systems. While both systems are functionally the same, the 310 differs in size and appearance from the 325. It is designed to reduce the occurrence of wheel lock-up during severe braking conditions. To accomplish this function, the system regulates hydraulic brake line pressure by using an Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit (EHC...

Vehicle: 1997 GMC K2500 Suburban 6.5 V8 DIESEL
In order to properly service power brake systems, a thorough understanding of the various power assist systems is necessary. These systems provide a mechanical assist, acting to increase the force applied to the master cylinder piston by the driver while decreasing the effort necessary to obtain acceptable stopping performance. Two basic types of power assist mechanisms are used: vacuum assist diaphragm assemblies which use engine vacuum and in some cases vacuum from an external vacuum pump, and hydraulic assist assemblies which use hydraulic pressure developed by an external pump (...
