    Teal daily driven farm truck.

    It did! That initial firmness I mentioned is right at the top.

    Teal daily driven farm truck.

    Welp, brakes are better. I wouldn’t take it auto-crossing but they are adequate for a daily driver that won’t be towing or hauling anything. To recap: I replaced the leaking RR wheel cylinder, brake hoses have been replaced with braided stainless and the master cylinder was replaced. Some...

    She even needs help pushing the pedal. Sheesh. Kids these days are so soft.

    Teal daily driven farm truck.

    So far so good. Really firm pedal during bleeding. I made up a contraption for the pressure bleeder. If it looks stupid but it works, it isnt stupid.

    I’ve been provided a shop assistant. She’s eager to work, but completely useless.

    3/4 Ton of fun - ‘95 Sierra

    Adjusting the rear brakes made a big difference on mine when I did it a couple weeks ago. Not as much travel for the wheel cylinders to move for the shoes to touch.

    Confirmed brake bleeding scan tools

    Ill say the same thing. Most use a different connector. The ones that use an OBD 2 are pinned differently than regular.

    Thanks! I see their website states “ the delivery time will be have delays” so that checks out.

    Teal daily driven farm truck.

    @GrimsterGMC @Road Trip Excellent points on the master. I was only thinking of a singular failure of the master cylinder continuing to bleed off and not building any pressure. I bet if I take it apart I’ll find soggy rubbers and pitted cylinders. The truck did sit for a few years so the damage...

    Teal daily driven farm truck.

    No Idk, I’m going to have to bleed them again. I think the travel is worse than it was before. That nasty fluid might be a sign, that was the end of the second quart going through the system. Something I noticed while bleeding, the first few inches (close to 5”) of travel won’t move any...

    Identify this drop?

    Also, try to get a look at the notch. See if it’s in the frame or above it. Should have enough room either way but better to have more than less.

    Speed limiter on '91 454 SS ?

    Only if your eyes are closed

    Identify this drop?

    Fer sure, you could throw some shackles in the back, most have separate holes for a 1 or 2” drop. That last photo shows a decent rake, you’re probably closer to 5” in the front.

    Identify this drop?

    The rear looks like all stock stuff to me. There’s also a little over an inch difference in the tires that’s contributing to the rake.

    Identify this drop?

    First of all, that’s a beautiful truck! If I where to guess it looks like maybe a 5/6? Flip kit by itself is 6”. Could be Any combination in the front. What size are your tires? When are you starting a build thread with lots of photos?

    Teal daily driven farm truck.

    The scan tool ran flawless, was able to run the automated bleed procedure. Following the Kelsey-Hayes reference card, the brakes got bled a total of 4 times. Almost 2 quarts of fluid. As you can see by the date on the box, I’ve had these Russel brake lines for a little while. The rear hose got...

    Teal daily driven farm truck.

    Blakes are bred, still about 27 inches of pedal travel though. I guess that’s just how it is :shrug:

    Free to me GMC 2500

    I should’ve specified it is a 2012 Tahoe :deal: But you’re right, that confirms the research I’ve done, showing them to be valved slightly different than the 4600, while also having a slightly beefier build. The rear shocks were rated nearly identical for the Tahoe. Could’ve saved a couple...
