Rear pads were to the metal, that and the caliper pistons were messed up and leaking... My own fault really.

well, it looks like my rears pads are gone. I dropped it off at the shop today, I wanted to tackle it but I just don't have time right now, wife needs her car! Thanks for the help everyone.

What is the procedure for testing the master? I did the test for the booster and it passes that. I discovered one of my rear bleeder valves is snapped off, so I can't bleed that calliper. Not sure I should replace the master without replacing that calliper. Since this is a '90 I'm not sure I...

I'm having the exact same issue right now. Did you replace the booster and master cylinder together, or just the booster? Thanks.

Thanks Robert. That is what I was thinking. It likely wasn't the bleeding so much as it was my wife not wanting to stop when the brakes weren't working, she managed to drive from downtown Vancouver to Coquitlam somehow. Pedal was going to the floor at that point. I've replaced both front...

Hi folks I've got a relatively new to me '90 HDJ81 that is giving me a headache right now. I had a front brake line blow last week, so I replaced both front lines, and bled the system. After that brakes were working great, until today. Fluid levels are fine, but every once in a while there...

Thanks everyone. Yes, I think it is the original ride hight, but I'm not really sure. Seems like it is. I think I'm going to pass on this truck after my discussion with Steve about some of the issues and after subsequent chat with the owner of the vehicle. Just not feeling it. I'll keep...

Thanks for the replies. Asking price is $11K Cdn. The new struts are Munroe Struts and are basically brand new. As far as the rest of the suspension goes, I cant really tell not having been around a lot of these cars. BEBs have not been done. What does a shop charge to do these...

I'm new to the forum as I've just started looking for an HDJ81. I went and looked at the one with the fr/r lockers posted above, started a thread on my findings. https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/783720-hdj81-questions.html#post8902937

I'm looking for an HDJ81, considering importing but keeping an eye on the local market, one popped up right down the street so I went and checked it out. I'm used to working on cars, but I know little about these trucks, especially anything to do with diesel engines and turbos. Here is...
