Re: What did you do to your truck today!

My right rear drum is locking up. Pretty dangerous, really.

New brake booster/prop valve (disc/drum), master cyl. New pads/rotors up front and new shoes with good drums in the back.
Multi-bleedings with no air in the system that I can see in the bleeder jar.

It's the pass rear brake that's locking up, and locked up first *before* I recently changed out a leaking wheel cyl) may be out
of adjustment ????? I don't know.

I *do* know that I've never been able to get a good enough adjustment on the parking brake to make it work properly.

Gotta play with this one. Possibly I have a bad P-valve? I'm not too happy with the overall brake performance compared to my '72.
So maybe it's a crappy booster/m/c/prop valve set up all together.

Or maybe I just need to play with the adjustment on the pass rear drum???
