What's the issue? Won't firm up? That porportioning valve needs bled or you will never get the rest bled. Ask me how I know.

 

Yeah, softer than a kitten's ass.
Where the fuck is that at?

I sucked what I could from the MC, filled with new fluid, flushed, installed new parts, then bled and bled and bled. Still softer than shit.

 

Just above the rear diffy and a little to the driver's side. You will see the brake lines and the bleeder.

I went thru a full qt of bf doing my wife's truck before I figured out the valve needed bled too. So much hate.

 

Do I need to do that in sequence with each wheel? Or can I just run out there real quick and solve all my problems?

 

If you have someone pumping the brakes, you can do the PV bleeder, the right brake and left brake while laying under the truck. You should be able to reach all 3 with minimal scooching around, then you can do the fronts.

 

Yeah, I was rolling around under there this morning lol. I'll be damned if I'm taking the tires off/jacking it up again.
Guess I'll get the wife to come help again.

 

I'd think your skinny ass could do that without jacking it up and removing the tires. My fat 225 fits under just fine.

 

Oh I can lol. I'm just saying, if the solution requires me to do all that again, I'll just take it down the road lol.

 

Yeah, I didn't see that down there at all. Different spot on 2nd gens? Do they even have one? Can't find anything about it.

Looking more like I'm gonna have a "professional" do it in the morning.

 

Bummer. Sucks when a job goes sideways.

 

Yeah, not sure what I did wrong. Hopefully it's cheap, quick, and not too embarrassing.

 

Faaaack what a day.

 

Took her to Pep Boys. Guess I didn't have the drum shoes adjusted properly. Wasn't forcing all the air out with the bleed.

Oh, well.

 

Thank you for so graciously allowing me to learn from your mistakes. Glad it all worked out in the end though.

 

Happy to be of assistance.

Done for now. Looks like struts might be the next endeavor..

 

Back at work. Rumor is that I'll be working 5/2 for at least another month or so...

 

That’s like some mon-fri shit. Wtf?

 

Some kinda BS. Lol
Makes it real interesting trying to play hockey on Sundays when I have to come in on Sunday night.

 

Hey Bill
