my brakes on my silverado 1500 feel spongy, but when i take off my tires i have almost full pads. anybody know of any ideas of what is wrong. i also heard a rumor that 99' 1500's had spongy brakes from the factory??

Hows the rear brakes look? are they disk or drum? You may try to adjust the shoes up on drum brakes to take up slack and pedal travel. Look at the back of the master clynder, is it leaking? maybe getting air in the system from a bad seal. Then how does the brake fluid look? Is it black and dirty? If so flush the old fluid out. Suck up the fluid out of the resivor, then clean the resivor good, add freash fluid, and bleed the brakes out till new fluid comes out of the bleeders. Give that a shot.
