So the saga continues. I was away for a while and left the truck alone. (Trying to keep from putting a hammer throughout the windshield) I am so frustrated with this brake system. I bench bled and installed the new master with 2 new wilwood RSV valves. I had a small leak at one of the valves that sealed with a little more tension. I have no pedal. I bled and bled and bled and got a ton of air.
Finally had enough pedal to put pressure in the system. Pumped up and held for a minute or 2 and realized i had a leaking wheel cylinder. I replaced that yesterday and bled the brakes. Still no pedal. I re bled this am and no air comes out of the bleeders but the pedal is still soft. first push goes to the floor. If I pump it up I get about a 1/2 pedal on the 3rd or 4th pump. Hold for a minute or 2 and no leaks. I drive the truck and can’t stop it speeds over 15MPH.
I am ready to sell at this point. I have never had any issue with this truck I couldn’t solve (with your help of course) I don’t know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am filling the fluid from a remote reservoir so I don't think I have introduced any air into the system. I have put gallons of fluid through it at this point. If air was to get into the master is this what would result?
Any suggestions. My next step is to start all over and re bench bleed, redo the lines maybe omit the rsv valves (the old single chamber MC didn't have them and the truck stopped fine). I am at my wits end… yesterday day I had to close the garage door so the neighbors wouldn’t hear my tirade of cuss words. I’m into this brake upgrade for a lot of time and money and now my sanity is at risk. Any advice is welcome.
I just want to drive my truck!!!!
Thanks
Rich
