I can't help but think of the movie Fletch Lives when Cleavon Little's character tells Fletch "The brakes don't work so well, you gots to think ahead."

Holy crap! I never realized the televangelist was R. Lee Ermey! Now I have to watch it again.

Most of our trucks are fitted with a “quick take up” master cylinder that matches the “low drag” calipers. You can try using those search terms to help you get more information.
Thank you! Ive been reading and there sure are some eye openers. I think Im going to swap out my front calipers for jb7 and rear wheel cylinders for jb8 if thats fine.

I honestly don’t understand this. You’ve never had your factory brake system working properly and you keep wanting to introduce parts from a different brake system. Why not just fix what you have?

Your right. I'm just all over the place because I've been working on the truck for about 6 months and its still not road safe, this is the last thing i need for it to be.
