ok heres the deal my bro has a 1996 Tahoe with 24's on it. he said it has always had soft brakes. well it finally came time to replaced the front brakes. we turned the rotors and bought new brake pads. we installed everything and bled the front brakes. well the brakes were still soft so we bled the brakes again starting from the rear. i noticed when bleeding the rear brakes the fluid "squirts" out with pressure. when bleeding the front brakes the fluid just "ozzes" out. so we went and bought a new master cylinder and the same thing happens. we talked to a "ase mechanic" and he ran a diagnostics test with his computer and he said there is a sensor on the brake that is screwed up. so my question is can this really be causing the brakes to be soft???? and yes i have told my bro he needs to just breakdown and buy the big break kit but he wont listen to me... lol

ok so we now have put new calipers and new sensors on. the fluid now "squirts" out like its supposed to. the pedal still feels soft.... could the abs be bad???? any advice would be appreciated

Between my '94  and two older Chevy's I've driven, I was under the impression that "soft brakes" were just the norm..........
