Have a 2000 Taco with brake issues

Cool, keep us posted.

 

will do still waiting on the replacement (warrantied) parts to get in But now its raining so may have to put it off another day Dammit

 

well exchanged the parts installed them brakes feeling better but gonna take the truck to Midas to get power bleed and noticed the nipples on the back was not sealing correctly so gonna buy new ones and see if that has been my biggest problem

 

we;; shit got happy for nothing still NO brakes even though it got a new brake booster new master cylinder and cleaned the brake lines with air and checked the wheeel cylinders and still no brakes took it to Midas and Meinekie they cant figure it out they say its not holding pressure any help would be awesome changed the Master Cylinder 2 x along with Brake Booster 2x all new parts Its driving me CRAZY thanks for any help

 

Did you adjust your rear brakes up manually? Makes a lot of difference if there's too much clearance there.

 

To have NO brake power as she states can only mean two things, at least in my limited experience. Ridiculous amount of air still trapped in system or fluid leak somewhere, but you should be able to pump the pedal and eventually feel some kind of brake pressure building up. Or a component in the system is failing or not doing it's part. It could be the proportioning valve failing, I guess. Is there a history of the proportioning valve failing in these Tacomas? Man I wish I had an fsm. I need to order one.

 

Check out what a guy in this thread mentions and try his tests, didn't want to retype it out.

Hi all I have tired everything except C4 LOL its getting onm y nerves NEVER ever had this much trouble and the LPV is only activated when you have a load and all it does is push the fluid to the front wheels. I don't know whats going on thanks I will look at his thread and see if I can get anywhere thanks all..

 

yes rear brakes was adjusted manually and Still not good stopping brakes. Grrrrrrr I love my truck but I'm starting to hate him right now LOL

 

this truck doesn't have ABS

 

Hi yeah its annoying and they even power bleed the truck and still not working gota Stupid question is there a certain way to bench bleed the MC on the tacos or to manual bleed them ?

 

Also, on these does the bpv have a bleeder as well?

 

Yes the bpv has a bleeder. If its severly rusted it could be hard to tell. But its facing towards the rear.

Bleed it the same way you do your brakes. Either first or after the rear

 

Yeah, I don't think that solves her issue, but still good to know. Thanks

 

Does the parking-brake hold the truck on a slope?

 

What is the history on this truck?

Just bought it?

Were the brakes working well, until all-of-a-sudden they stopped working?
If so, was any work done right before that?
