I rebuilt the master a few months ago, very easy to do with the rebild kit.
I did finda lit of mud in one of my drums and scored shoes because of the grit. I had to have the drum resurfaced last week and ordered some parts for my tundra calipers.:bang:
As much as I have read, I am going to bit...
I have been reading a lot about the tundra upgrade and looks like I will reluctantly go for it.
Just not sure why some of my friends who run 37s on a mini truck do not seem to have a problem
Still more brake problems
Hi guys
Well I am back to same issue, weak brakes.:bang::bang:
The only thing I have not done is rebuild the front calipers.
I adjusted the rears again and I can barely stop, only seem to engage the abs is when I really. Stand on the brakes and pull parking brake...
Run the wiring
I would highly suggest running the wiring the way the factory intended it to be set up with one exception, the speed lock out.
I put mine in and had to run all new wiring as my factory wiring harness did not have the diff lock wiring in it.
Good luck, there are a few posts on...
Not sure about the other caliper, no pulling in one direction when I brake.
Yes, I replaced the rubber lines a while back. There was a crack in one, but they seem I hate to say have a braided liner. Hopefully, I did not waste my money.
They are just weak as they just won't stop the truck. I was too dumb to think about pumping them while I was test driving them.:bang: . At this point, everything will be new on the brakes, shoes, drums, rotors, rebuilds, etc. over the past 12 months. I feel like it has been a bit of a black...
The guys in my club think its either a bad master cylinder or air in the master. I ordered a rebuild kit for both the master and the calipers.
Figured I might as well go ahead and get this done:wrench:.
Just sucks it so dang hot outside....:banana:

Thanks for response
I have bled the system multiple times and burned through several quarts of Val opine semisynthetic brake fluid. All the fluid I get is clear. Guess I could put a drop of food coloring in to see whether I bled it completely but I do not think air is the problem.
Hello all,
I have been fighting braking issues with my truck for a bit over a year. I can barely lock them up.
Went through a rear seal replacement at first and replaced shoes, they worked for a bit then the same thing.
Fast forward a few months...
Just a few days ago, I then replaced the shoes...
Unless there is a real need to replace the rims, I would stay with the factory alloys. I have all kinds of rock rash from basic wheeling in some tough areas in the SE USA.
Spend your money on armor, lockers and tires and most importantly recovery gear and a CB.
Good luck. :)
BTW, you do not want too wide of a tire as you will not get much traction. research this issue here Expeditions West: Tire Selection for Expedition Travel
and here is another forum your wife/girlfriend wil consider truck porn...

I got mine off craigs list, it is a small one, load warrior. It is nice though for what I paid for it. If I had to do it again, I would look around for something cheaper. Costco had something, no name brand for less.
One thing that is nice, my target duffle roof bag fits nicely in it, with...
I was going to suggest water pump issues, but sounds like it may be more complex.
Good luck,
BTW, check the AC idler pulley as they go bad if you run through a lot of mud...
yes, that is correct. ABS is disabled when locker is engaged. Although mine is a retro fit, it should do the same as I have the same 4wd brain installed. I do not think my ABS light goes out. I have to check that again.
I was driving around in the snow as well as we had lots of fun white stuff...
AC Idler pulley and belt
Well,
Finally got around to replacing this.
Here is a pic of the belt
Here is a pic of the old and new idler pulley.
NOTE: the new ones are not rebuildable
BTW, the number on my idler bearing was
6301DU2
Not sure I was looking for it this morning and did not see it. I have to pull out bearing and confirm as I want to get one at the bike shop. BTW, the new pulley does not have a c-clip so everyone take note..
I will get some pics up tomorrow
