Three problems related to brake drum have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Rear brakes are wearing out excessively, causing extended stopping distance. Contacted dealer. Please provide further information.
Brake slack adjuster was designed to work wrong way, instead of tightening, is loosens brake line. Ttok vehicle to dealer who could not remedy problem.
Right rear brake does not release and it stays locked up after releasing brake pedal which is causing damage and tearing wheel/rotors and calipers.
