    I got a new master for 100 bucks. No where locally sold a soft goods rebuild kit for it so just bought it whole. If it wasnt the problem, screw it, as I said its 19 years old so ima chalk it up to preventive maintenance.

    Well hell, I didnt need one ever til now. Vacuum or gravity bleeding worked on every car Ive done brakes on, including my bike where it dosent like vacuum bleeding but I just have a smoke while it gravity bleeds and its good to go. This one wanted to be picky I suppose.

    We got brakes. Home made pressure bleeder with a Harbor Freight pump sprayer, a spare cap from oreillys, and some tubing fittings from work, I was able to pressurize the master cylinder and got a horrific amount of bubbles out the front passenger even tho I started with both the back brakes. At...

    No, a new booster isnt available...like, anywhere. But Ive done my checks and its good. I have read that same thing as well, dont know the viability of that claim but I lack the mechanical experience required to call ******** on that. I have a haynes manual that only states the buddy method...

    Nah not at all, keepin up basic maintenance and with the AFM delete I did a few years back (with fan-TASTIC help from the people on here) I have no doubt this thing will take me to the moon and back.

    All signs pointing to good booster, but bad master cylinder, removed master cylinder and torn down. You can definitely see the wear in the tube from its 19 years of service. But, you can also see a scratch right thru a wear mark. To be clear, no tools went that deep up in there, just a lint...

    I had a seized caliper, back passenger. Upon pushin the piston back into the caliper it became evident as the other three went in without a hitch, that one wasnt happy. Popped it out and with the seals out and all squeeky clean the piston would stop half way down. Not canked, not sideways, just...

    So Im hoping to have some one double check my math here cause I suck at math and need outside reassurance. Replacing pads and rotors on my 07 tahoe, no issues before hand, just that time. Usin a power..err, vacuum bleeder..or is that a power bleed- its the one with the master cylinder hopper...

    So, rear end is makin hella noise. Like, cat in a dryer noise. Lifted the rear off the ground, put'er in drive, little tap tap tap-o-rue on the gas and it was so angry. Took a look at my RPO in the ol'glove box, peeped the GT4 and deduced I got a 3.73 8.5" thats not long for this world. So I...

    yea i think i just thought about why as i sit here, i capped the pressure relief in the pan so now im just running on the one in the pump so it would make sense to me why im seeing a little above normal. gonna put the 100 mile run on it the next two days to work and change the oil one more time...

    welp, i think i did a thing. pushed the gas down and cranked it for 10 seconds to get the oil around. let off and it started right up. no sputters, no kicks, no weird noises, vibrations, and best of all, no check engine light. oil pressure is fantastic...much fantastic. infact i have a...

    so man-well is tellin me how to go about this the right way, but im wondering as hes talkin, hes not mentioning putting loctite on anything other than the head bolts- which new ones already came with poop on them. not on the cam bolts, thrust plate, harm bolt, both pumps- nothin. just sendem...
