All new parts down to the hose clips

MC bench bled? Booster ok?

I am assuming? I had a person who does this for a living do it for me while I stood around and pretended to know what Im doing.

I would check those two things out.
Is there any leaks anywhere? with all new parts there may be a fitting which wasn't quite tightened up correctly.
When I did rear brakes when I went back under there to replace diff oil I found one of the lines needed to be snugged up a little more.
Are the calipers ok? even though they are new maybe they are new trash, are they leaking already?

If you havn't already, take it back to the bloke who did it and get him to give it a once over.

I think we misunderstood each other, my stuff works just fine.

Everything was replaced with new from the motor lines on down, no leaks.

It’s unfortunate you can’t just jack up the pressure

Odd. These systems are pretty basic when it comes to pressure - loss of vacuum? Weak booster?

When I drove the GMC Yukon off the dealer lot was the moment I was astonished by the sponge like brakes. This was supposed to be newly redesigned and GM really put their backs into it and they came up with this kind of brake system? Maybe they wanted to give someone a reason to buy the Brembo big brake system.

The dusting could be an issue but Ive had more aggressive pad setups in the past which really threw down a hard layer of dust. I dont think these will be as bad.
