Long Travel BS Thread

Just saw your comment on IG. Yeah decided to just modify the headers to fit, was holding me up on the engine swap and couldn't find an aftermarket set that clears or stock manifolds anywhere local.

 

I'm so sad right now.

 

About 10 minutes of raw helo footage from the Mint courtesy the awesome crew at Turn 2 Productions. We're getting set to give Vegas to Reno a shot in August.

 

Ok guys so I got everything installed, but I'm having trouble bleeding my brakes. I did it like normal, started from furthest from the master cylinder and worked my way to the front. I'm not getting anymore air out of the lines but the pedal still goes to the floor. If I pump it around ten times pedal is firm but I let it sit for a minute and it's soft again. No leaks anywhere

 

Sounds like you may have got air in your master cylinder?

 

I always did brakes by doing closest to the master first..

 

Yep, she squats...

 

No leaks but what about fluid level?

My master cylinder went out last week. No visible leaks because it was leaking into the brake booster.

Correct order to bleed is passenger rear, driver front, driver rear, passenger front. It's a split system so those front/wheels are paired together. That's at least what the chilton repair manual says

 

Ok I'll give that a try. Just drove to oreilys cause my brake light is on, fluid levels good still no brakes. They couldn't get any codes so I guess I'll keep bleeding them
Edit- truck is brand new so master should be good

 

Brake light on normally means fluid is low and is a serious safety issue.

Look twice, the reservoir is split in half. The rear half will drain before the front half, and the front half is small so it will go fast.

Shine a flashlight on it when you check fluid.

 

Of if it's brand new take it to the dealer, and have them fix it under warranty.

 

It's full

 

Ya I just put on solo's lt kit so I'm fucked for warranty

 

Air in master

 

It should bleed out then right? Just take a while

 

It will take a while bleeding the MC through the brakes.

Buy a bench bleed kit; leave the MC on the truck, attach short hoses from the kit in lieu of the two brake lines that come of the MC, run them into the tank, and bleed it. Re-attach brake lines, bleed them, should be good to go. Took me less than an hour to do that routine last night.

 

Yes you need to bench bleed....was always my worst fear when cracking a brake line open lol

 

So i recieved a ticket for no light covers on my led bar.... Courts saying it's NOT CORRECTABLE.... Chp is saying it is.....I already got it signed off....frustrating


Also my truck looked insanely stupid with front mud flaps....

 

What does it say on the ticket, there's a box to mark if it's correctable

 

The officer (chp) marked correctable
