Got a link? I can't find ANYTHING on their site. Bunch of dead and do-nothing hyperlinks on the home page, I feared they were out of business!
No phone number listed; contact form does not work. Man, that is one broken website!
I'm sure my MC and airpack work fine, I've been driving this truck for 2 years just pulled the front axles apart to do the boot replacement and in the process also replaced both front wheel cylinders, front brake hoses and 1 hard brake line. So I would think, when properly bled, my pedal would...
Reading the TM on pedal adjustment, it says the pedal should have .25-.5" of movement before free play is gone. Mine goes almost to the floor pan. I don't think it's a pedal issue. I'd better bleed again first, this time on concrete instead of grass, and with practice it'll go better.
Also I...
Bled them this morning and while it's not 100%, it sure went a lot better than last time! The pedal stops before hitting the floor, but it's not quite as firm as it used to be. I'll do it again before I take her on the road.
The fluid that came out was noticeably cloudier than the new stuff...
Oh boy. I just saw this thread for the first time. I'm sorely tempted (assuming I can get my brake pedal to firm up. I'm going to leave a stack of playboys on the floorpan overnight and see if that helps).
PSA: the airpack bleeder screw is significantly shorter than the wheel cylinder bleeders.
They're all cleaned and reinstalled. I might have time to try bleeding again after dinner or might have to wait until tomorrow. We'll see.
I did not have an inline pressure gauge but I found an endcap...

I'll repeat the...
Maybe I need a little more pressure in the sprayer tank as well, I was never getting more than a very slow seep. No gauge on it, just gave it 30-40 pumps.
OK I will clean up the 2 I have loose and then replace / clean the existing ones as needed and try again. At least one of the rear ones is painted over!
