'86 brake trouble
Every since I put shoes/wheelcylinders on my '86 1/2 ton 2wd the pedal has been super soft with excess travel. My shoes are adjusted to where they are rubbing the drums when you spin them, I also installed a new mastercylinder, and calipers. I am still having the same trouble, but it seems to be much worse when the truck is first driven. its like the pelal will go all the way down and the truck just barely slows down. It seems to get a lot better when the truck is warm. Does this sound like air? I have bled and bled and bled and bench bled the master cylinder b/f i installed it. What could be my trouble?
Thanks, Jeremy

Re: '86 brake trouble
Adjust the rear brake so they lock the wheels from turning using one hand. then back off the adjuster so the just turn freely with a slight drag. then bleed the brake system and see what you come up with.
