    Brake/Rabs issue, no rear bleeding

    On both of mine the light comes for it's self check and goes out like it is supposed to. I did get both rear wheels final bled and the wheels on. Tomorrow it gets a test drive. I thank everyone for the suggestions and tips.

    Brake/Rabs issue, no rear bleeding

    I know people have done that but that is not my style if I have the option to correctly fix something. Though I did not become a mechanic as a trade I have been turning wrenches since the mid 70's when I was a teenager working after schools and summers in a small shop and can count on one hand...

    Brake/Rabs issue, no rear bleeding

    I have partial success. I gave it squirt of 90psi shop air, basically as fast as I could click it air gun. That did not work so I bled off a little pressure up front, pumped up the power bleeder, held the brake pedal to the floor and started the engine while the rear passenger bleeder was...

    Brake/Rabs issue, no rear bleeding

    Thanks, that makes sense. I just need to figure out how to put enough pressure on it without using an air hose to blow the fluid back. lol The only bleeder that is stuck is the RABS one. I would take it off and clean it properly but then there is the concern of it getting air in it, which I...

    Brake/Rabs issue, no rear bleeding

    That is how we bled them initially. The brake pedal is now hard, not pushing down at all. I can release the pressure on the front caliper and the pedal will be able to push one time, but it is only pumping fluid to the front, the rear is locked out. That is the problem, no fluid will flow to...

    Brake/Rabs issue, no rear bleeding

    Thanks, but which bleeder are you talking about?

    Brake/Rabs issue, no rear bleeding

    RABS bleeder is clogged, as expected. lol Neither rear wheel will bleed, fluid is not being allowed to pass to the rear brakes. Prior to replacing the rear wheel cylinders, the brakes were perfect except for the passenger shoes dragging from being worn down to the rivets. New shoes and...

    I will hook the pressure bleeder back up and give it a shot in a while.

    Brake/Rabs issue, no rear bleeding

    Will that release it so fluid flows to the rear? There should not be any air in it and I want to be sure before I crack the bleeder open. I would have thought bleeding the driver front would have done the same thing as releasing the pressure on the RABS. I would love to be wrong though.

    Brake/Rabs issue, no rear bleeding

    No, I have not touched the RABS, concerned about getting air in it.

    Brake/Rabs issue, no rear bleeding

    I replaced my rear drums on my 94 CCLB 4wd zf5 because they were worn way down and the driver side was dragging. I noticed one wheel cylinder had a slight leak so I decided to replace both of them as well. Everything went smooth on the pad and cylinder replacement. The driver side cylinder...

    I put a Flowkooler on my idit in 2017 and it has been rock solid.

    OBS Door Speakers

    The Infinity 6030cs will fit a 5" cutout. Look at the specs from Infinity/Harmon. https://www.harmanaudio.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-masterCatalog_Harman/default/dw2332a0f7/pdfs/REF6030cs_OM_EN.pdf It has been a few years but I don't believe I modified the door in any way to fit the...

    is this 1993 F350 7.3 IDI turbo a good deal?

    That is about what I expected for a 311k mile truck but not a $11k truck. I would still go look at and drive it. It would not be worth 11k to me but to be honest I have more than that into my 94 so if the condition is something you can live with and it drives good it may be worth it.

    is this 1993 F350 7.3 IDI turbo a good deal?

    I bought my 94 with more miles than that, it is normal to put a lot of highway miles on a truck in Texas it doesn't mean it is worn out. That one looks really clean and well taken care of. A few things stand out, the addition of an intercooler is great but it makes me wonder how much, if any...
