This 2003 Chevy Silverado is pretty rough. It’s also been jacked up figuratively and literally. It has a soft brake pedal, poor brakes, and pulls hard to the lef. We need to redo some DIY repairs and make this thing a little safer.

Everything i see you work on something all I can think is, thank the F@ck baby jebus I live in texas….been working on cars and 18 wheelers 20 years and never have I had one rusted like that!
Here in England manual tras is normal
Get the sandblasting machine out….
Now touch the white shirt
For Pete's sake brakes are something you don't half ass. Get the right lines and fittings. Then don't put it together ass backwards. Same thing with fuel lines and suspension. With some things there are only catastrophic failures so get it done right!!!
honestly STOP LIFTING YOUR TRUCKS. You wreck the suspension, the ride, the tires. Buy an off-road truck if you want one. Don't modify a regular one. It costs more than the truck to do it right.
Watch adjusting those torsion bars when they are that rusty, I saw a guy almost get killed when he was working on the suspension the mount rusted lose and the torsion bar ripped the fender and the front left of the Tahoe apart! it was a mess. Worst part is the customer still had to pay for the work we had just done so that he could scrap the truck…
I see why it's pulling. The driver's side wheel has VTEC & the passenger side doesn't. 42:05
You should show us what a compression fitting is also you don’t use steel brake lines.. you use the right brake line..
Not so funny story. I took the place of an ASE Certified tech, I was getting ready to take tests for Suspensions, brakes, and A/C myself. There was a job left over from previous tech. A early Chrysler K car. He had replaced calipers, rotors, and hoses on the front, not being able to get a pedal, he condemned the master cylinder too, which was waiting with new calipers to be installed. Said he had been trying to fix for several weeks, replaced several parts. I swapped sides with calipers, bled and test drove car before manager came out to ok the new parts installation. When I brought the keys and paperwork in, the look of disbelief was priceless.
