I have no ideas on why the brakes are shitty. That sucks. My only thought is that it may be related to actually having flow to the rear. The crushed SS line may have been acting like a residual valve?

speaking of the crushed SS line- that got replaced with a rubber line.   i was thinking this system has 8 rubber flex lines.... maybe too much for the displacement of the MC?


thats what it feels light to me- just not enough stroke to make pressure.

There is no residual valve?

[M4wdFab]

never, not on anything i have ever owned or worked on. 

[M4wdFab]

i have a corvette 1 1/8 bore MC

Going to try to get Dorman M39324 which is chevy 1.25" bore

or M390530 which is ford 1.375" bore

[mr.mindless]

Seems reasonable.

found cardone 10-1584 with a 1.330 bore for 24$ at advance

gona try it.

[M4wdFab]

thing is large lol.  no idea if it will fit under the hood haha.  looks like same hydralic outs.


Also just thought of something, i wonder if that line lock is F'd up.  it hasent worked in a while.  I think thats going to get take out also. 

[mr.mindless]

hood there doesn't seem important

I don't think those symptoms could result from a fubar line lock but it really isn't doing much these days so fuckit

Sorry I meant proportioning valve

[M4wdFab]

and my same answer-  proportioning valves are a myth in a 4wd locked truck. 


want brakes and all the brakes i can get from any corner.  never run proportioning valves.

I could see your point if you where running all the same caliper on all four corners but with a proportioning valve could you use that to "set or plant" the front end in a corner better since they are 70 front / 30 back bias?

[mr.mindless]

front and back are locked together. No differentiation aside from driveline slop of well less than half a tire rotation.

[M4wdFab]

its more like 5% of a tire rotation.  watching all 4 tires lock in a controlled slimmy creek slide shows this
