Ok, you need a booster. Do you know how to replace it?
It's pretty easy...easier than bleeding brakes.

In one of the earlier replies I tried to explain how the equalizer valve works, and how to get the front brakes to bleed,.Does it make sense to you. If not let me know and I'll try to make it easier to understand

Wow you guys were busy last night! LOL

Anyway, the first thing I always suggest when trouble shooting brake problems is to bleed the brakes. It is never a bad thing and is by far less expensive than replacing something that didn't need replacing.

I have never had any problem with a equilization valve, but that may just be something on the older master cylinders. Any time I have bleed the brakes on any of my vehicles, it has gone off without a hitch.

Sounds like Rob got you on the right track to getting your brake problems fixed! Let us know how it goes.

i put on a new booster and now it stops better than it ever did. The real pain in the put for that was getting the shaft screwed into the one on the brake pedal. It was worth in now though. Thanks for all the help!!

This is a really good thread! Could Chevylover or anyone discuss the installation of a power booster? I have read the chilton manual but it is not entirely clear to me. I have a 94 S10 Blazer. Thanks!

Have a read through this thread: hissing noise from brake pedel

I do not know how the brake switch is on your '94, but chances are, the pictures that Chevy Lover has posted are not the same.
