Soft brake pedal

[aceofspades]

so i'm running low on fund and time!


could use some side input!

so pretty much i have to double pump to get the brakes get firm or close to locking!

so far I have added new lines old ones rusted away!
front pads
tryed to adjust the rear shoes!
or maybe its that odd brake valve at the rear that adjust with the ride that link to the axle?

hmmmmm....
and bleed the brakes all the way threw


so now i'm wondering if its the master cyl going or the brake booster
or maybe new shoes or drums in the rear that did adjust a bit!


let me know what you think!

Hmmm. Having trouble trying to understand your problem. If you've replced the brake lines, you must be absolutely certain that you bleed ALL of the air out of the lines. Check the FAQ's for how to adjust the rear brakes, but the shoes should be slightly dragging, and the drum should not spin free, but you should have a slight drag. The "funny valve" is the bleeder for the rear brake lines (at least I think that's what you're referring to). Try to make your question a little more clear. Good luckNed

You need to bleed the load sensing proportioning valve at the rear of your truck. It is located on the passenger side frame rail over the rear axle. It does have a bleeder screw. When using the pedal pump method of bleeding the brakes, it is hard to get all of the air out of the proportioning valve.

thats it! that the dang name! hmm alright i'll try that next then bleed the rear's again

but i'm pretty sure the movement on the load valve is going to be stuck!
but well see
and yes there is drag on the drums!

The LSPV is also the very last thing in the system that needs to be bled.

The correct order is: LR, RR, RF, LF, LSPV.
