    Brake bleeding problems

The front resoviour (rear brakes) bled quickly. The rear resoviour (front disc) never would cycle any...

    Brake bleeding problems

    After reading this and talking to a older tech that had experience with these that said the exact same thing, I think we are going to make up a correct master cylinder bleeder and restart from this point. Will keep you posted.

    Brake bleeding problems

    We bled the master cylinder on the truck, pumped it up and cracked the lines one at a time. Got some air out, then started at the wheels in the normal order. Yeah I haven't removed the bleeders so they could be partially clogged. A collapsed line should still have hard pedal but have issues...

    Brake bleeding problems

    We were bleeding it with engine off, have you had issues like this due to the hydro boost unit? I've had them fail before on other vehicles and it resulted in no brake boost with a very hard, high pedal.

    Yeah, a hydro boost system. Sorry I thought they were all equipped similarly. It has the 6.2L n/a engine I think.

    Brake bleeding problems

    So I've been helping a friend with his 88 CUCV Blazer and it's really making us scratch our heads. So for a while he's had a issue where the red brake light came on in the dash if he mashed the pedal real hard. Well the fluid had always been full and we had tried bleeding the brakes with no...

    How to register a modified 5-ton in TX?

    If you were in Carolina is say go see your DMV inspection and theft office. It's a different office than where you would get your plates or drivers license. Here every one that has a state inspection license has to answer to them also. Here they would be the ones to help set you straight. They...

    m929 dump.engine lock up ???

    Make sure your fully in high or low also, when I shift ranges it most always stalls when engaged after going back into high. After that jolt I can push the lever down a little more and it resumes normal operation.
