First Drive in the 1st Gen

Thanks for all help. I’ll probably do the tundra upgrade just for the hell of it.

Any chance of this could have something to do with brake lines? It’s strange to me that the brakes won’t release on both sides. I really don’t totally understand how brakes work though.

 

I am sure there are some videos of how the MC and brake system work floating around out there. Wouldn't be hard to google.

You could try bleeding all fresh fluid into your system and see how that goes . Either way you should do that with whatever brake update you do. FWIW, I highly suggest the Motiv Power Bleeder. It can be a pain to get it sealed, but it does wonders for moving fluid through the system, and it's pretty foolproof compared to the 'ol fashioned method. If you get one, message me, and I'll describe how I modified the universal adaptor to seal better on the Toyota MCs.

Does your truck have ABS? If it does, be aware that it's nearly impossible for an at home DIY bleeding of the ABS module (it needs to be modulated by a diagnostic tool/SST), so do everything you can to prevent the MC from going dry.

 

It was an oil cooler gasket. Just fixed it yesterday.

I wish it was an out of balance wheel but I think it’s related to my brakes not releasing properly.
