Section 5 — Brakes
See The G Van Service Manual for brake specifications.
Due to the critical nature of brake systems, anyone making modifications or alterations must assume complete responsibility for system
reliability, performance and certification to FMVSS 105.
All G10 and some G20 models are equipped with front air dams below the front bumper as shown in the illustration. These air dams are
equipped with brake cooling openings as shown. These openings should not be obstructed by the addition of any accessories that would
impede the flow of air to the front brakes.
It is mandatory that no change be made to the brake master cylinder location, brake pedal push rod length or pedal position.
Ensure that the hydraulic brake system is free of air and hydraulic leaks. Bleed brakes if required, following procedures as outlined in the G
Van Service Manual. Ensure that the vacuum booster system or hydraulic booster system is functional and free of leaks.
Check master cylinder fluid level and fill as necessary. Use only DOT3 Fluid from a sealed container. Delco Supreme 11 is recommended.
(Refer to Owner's Manual).
Check power steering fluid level for models equipped with hydraulic booster brake. (Refer to Owner's Manual).
Added floor covering or carpeting must not restrict service or parking brake pedal travel from released position to full pedal travel.
