Brake question
When I finished my truck I noticed the brakes were stiff and even if I pushed to the floor it would not complete stop, so I screwed in the brake booster rod and the pedal felt great and the brakes worked...
until I noticed how incredibly hot the front wheels were getting, turns out the booster rod was adjusted to far in and was not allowing the piston from the master cylinder to come far enough back to completely release the front disc brakes. Bad for pads not to mention gas mileage. lol Now if I adjust the booster rod far enough that the disc will disengage after I take my foot off the pedal, it leaves a stiff pedal that will not stop well and not much emergency stop at all. But if I adjust the rod enough to get good pedal then the brakes will not disengage. Where do you suggest I start? My first guess would be to bleed the brake lines again (been done twice) this time using a pump or vacuum and go from there, in case I missed some stubborn air bubbles. Any other suggestions or anyone else every had this problem? Thanks
