Brake Help 2
This is my second post regarding brake issues. Rather than making you read through the entire last thread to follow my progress I thought I would lay it all out here.
I feel I do not have very good stoping power. I apply the brakes and feel almost no response until I am over half way through the brake stroke. The brakes will not lock the wheels up. It seems like I have to put too much pressure on the pedal just to hold the truck in place at a stop sign. The system was probably all original several months ago. Since then I have replaced the following parts: Wheel Cylinders Brake shoes Brake Calipers Brake Pads Master Cylinder Power Brake Booster Front Brake Hoses Also: Brake Drums turned Brake discs turned Flushed entire system The only thing I have not replaced is the steel lines, rear brake hose and proportioning/combination valve, although I am getting fluid through it to all the wheels. Also, I have replaced these items individually (except the calipers and front hoses which were done at the same time) so I would be able to pinpoint the issue. The only thing that seemed to helped a little bit was the fresh brake booster. I am not sure when this all started, but as I recall it has stopped better in the past. Am I expecting too much from this system? Any thoughts? I feel like they are properly bled, including the master cylinder. Will the combo valve hold air? Thanks for any reply.
