Nothing but air from the rear brakes.


Recommended Posts

Tried to bleed my brakes today, did the procedure for the height valve, and the rears are mostly air. I'm using a vacuum pump bleeder. I went through a small bottle of fluid when doing the rears so where is the air coming from? Does this mean the height valve is busted? Fronts are golden.

Removed the height valve = problem solved. It was just dead weight. Only took a couple hours.

 

I did still have problems with the vacuum bleeder, it was still pulling a lot of air, it seemed to have a good seal but apparently it did not. When I did it the old fashioned way with a bottle and pumping the pedal, it worked flawlessly.

 

Now the truck can stop itself in low range! :clapping: Big difference. Must be really sweet with the late model booster upgrade.
