I bought my rig with a blown motor. I yanked it and installed my Cummins into it. I finally got to drive it, and I must say I'm really dissappointed with the brakes. I've never driven a stock pig, and I've heard all the horror stories about drum brakes, but I was expecting more than this.
I have plenty of shoe, and a properly primed system. My pedal feels great. But when I have to stop this beast, it just seems like it takes too much foot to do it. I have my vacuum pump hooked up to the master, and it's pulling fine. The brakes don't feel just spongy at all, just pathetic...
I understand that I slapped a heavier powertrain into my junk, but c'mon! Is it possible that there is a problem with the master, or are these brakes really this weak?
