My 2002 Chevy suburbans brakes appear to activate when driven more than 10 minutes what would cause this?
One possible cause is a misadjusted brake pedal. If the push rod is pushed in slightly all the time, it will block the tiny fluid return port in the master cylinder bore, trapping fluid. As the fluid heats up and expands, it is blocked from returning to the reservoir, so it applies the brakes slightly. This heats the fluid, so it expands, applying the brakes more, which heats the fluid more, which applies the brakes more...

Why do you have to pump the brakes in order to build up pressure?
When you pump the brakes, it helps to build up pressure in the brake system. This pressure is necessary to activate the brakes and slow down or stop the vehicle effectively.
Can an air leak on the emergency side of a maxi chamber cause the service brakes to activate?
Yes, an air leak on the emergency side of a maxi chamber can cause the service brakes to activate. The maxi chamber relies on a certain air pressure to maintain the proper function of the brakes. If there's an air leak, it can lead to a drop in pressure, inadvertently triggering the service brakes to engage as a safety measure. This could result in unintended braking while the vehicle is in operation.

What causes the abs system to activate under normal braking conditions?
If the brake pedal goes down lower than normal, it will activate the ABS system. Check the fluid and for leaks. Also if there is a bad ABS sensor or brakes need adjustment or replacement, it will activate it also.
What are the differences between bicycle mechanical disc brakes and hydraulic disc brakes?
Bicycle mechanical disc brakes use a cable to activate the brake caliper, while hydraulic disc brakes use fluid pressure to engage the caliper. Hydraulic brakes typically offer better modulation and braking power compared to mechanical brakes, but they are also more complex and require regular maintenance.

Does a 1995 Grand Am have drums or disc brakes on the back?
Drum brakes, and tend to develop leaky wheel cylinders which in turn cause wheels to lock up and in doing so causes antilock system to activate. Real annoying!
