Vehicle: 1998 GMC K1500 Pickup Sierra XC 5.0 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...

Hydraulic Brake Systems -> Description -> Hydraulic Control Valves -> Master Cylinder
Vehicle: 1998 GMC K1500 Pickup Sierra XC 4.3 V6 GAS

Master Cylinder

Some vehicles use a conventional tandem master cylinder with two hydraulic pistons operating in-line. The primary piston controls the front brake system and the secondary piston controls the rear brake system.

Other models use a master cylinder that operates the same as the conventional master cylinder, but also incorporates a quick take-up feature in the rear chamber to reduce excessive pedal travel which may result from increased fluid displacement required to move the low drag caliper piston out against the rotor.

The quick take-up uses a spring-loaded ball check val...
