"There's no way that is the same truck. Come on. " LOL It looks a lot different thats for sure!

I am tearing apart the brakes tonight, i have front brakes but no back ones! i believe i might have to buy new calipers, at least new bleed screws. vice grips do a fine job rounding off the hex :dunno:

i gotta get brakes before i can raise too much hell!

well i chased brake lines for a while last night.
no fluid at all to the rear calipers. changed master cylinder still nothing. determined i have trash in or a pinched line somewhere along the frame rail

maybe i can round up enough hard line to make it work for Sat.

i also got rid of the extension cord wiring last night :wtflol:

There you go making it all fancy smancy ! laughing1

I chased a brake trouble one time forever. I finally found a imploded rubber brake line. It had swelled inside and cut off fluid flow. :dunno:

J.A.B · May 21, 2009

Hell - all 4 breaks is a luxury not a necessity - look at JR he never has brakes :wtflol:

i thought that would be the case here, since it has rubber lines running to the rear calipers.
but its not getting that far back :dunno:

"look at JR he never has brakes "

haha i found out just how bad they were when i pulled Mark out at WITC with his jeep , made a few people nervous laughing1

im going to have the better half with me Sat. so i gotta be safe :flipoff1:

when she is riding brakes are a must ;D

i have to check out the rear STOCK drive shaft.. they shortened it and it looks like it doesnt have a lot of spine contact

Happened to me on my last Heavy Chevy project..
No fluid to the rears..

Ended up after several beers and lots of frustration I kicked the **** out of the brake pedal..
then like majig the fluid jsut started flowin free from the open lines at the rear. May just have some Junk in it.

Manual or auto..
Brakes are overrated as long as you've got a clutch.
Taco is the only rig ive ever had w/ good brakes.. :afro:

1toncrwlr · May 22, 2009

well i replaced the line to the rear. gettin good fluid flow.
then i noticed still no rear brakes
pulled the wheels and i have a frozen caliper

then decided to just skip the rears and focus on the front until after saturday

i plugged the rear output off the master cylinder and now am only running fronts
put new pads on the front , bled them, and it still doesnt stop the greatest :dunno:

the only thing i havnt changed is the booster, but the brakes dont feel extremely hard . does seem to help if i pump them a time or two
they stop good enough to trail ride, just no long hills for me tomorrow.
