Joe is having the same trouble I am having. He has asked the main question that we don't not understand. He asked:
Panic stop,
we need to know what it actually does?This was what I was asking way back when I said I didn't understand you said it stops at 45 but you are afraid you may rear end someone. Joe was looking for spongy or pedal travel complaint. You have said the "pedal is great" and "no rubber on the road". Everyone is advising to change this and that. It seems everything is new'ish. I looked up a 82 K10 and told you that system uses 1 1/8 bore. you say receipt says 1 1/8 bore.
The convention for residual valves for a low mount MC is 2 lb in front and 10lb in rear. I have wondered if maybe there is nothing wrong without saying so. I have tried to read and reread to see what the complaint is. This is what we always do. We try to understand the poster's problem. Now I an going to say as gently as possible: We don't know what you see as a problem. We don't know if the truck stops normal or not. If the truck does not stop in a normal distance some folks think it's because there is not enough pressure.
I recommend adjusting your rear brakes real tight, add residual valves and bleed the brakes. We must get back to a "boiler plate" condition before moving forward.
Regardless of anyone's opinion, the brake system sellers always say to use residual valves in low mount MC/proportional Valve.
Also please describe exactly what concerns you other than: "I'm not saying inadequate but just not up to what I expected."
I hope you can understand we can not react to that kind of comment and are not being rude to you.
We should not start redesigning your whole system.
We are trying to help and we will not give up, but it's hard from our house.
So please take these actions in red and report.
