The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Hydrovac internal leak

Hi Pete, I rebuilt all of my 6 wheel cylinders and the master cylinder, replace all steel lines with cupro-nickel and all new rubber hoses. I have no leaks and a great peddle. I bypassed the hydro-vac by running the line from the master directly to the first tee. My truck weighs 7200 lbs. empty and I haul 110 bales of hay a couple of times a year and I'm happy with the brakes. You have to get used to them and keep an eye on traffic 'cuz you won't be locking up the brakes but no trouble bringing it to a stop. With that all said my truck tops out at 45 MPH due to the 7.20:1 rear axle so speed is a factor here.
