This isn`t my first Rodeo, started driving 9/66 when I got out of the Navy full time. High School doesn`t count.
any way, I have had various vehicles over the years, so know a little bit about working on them from one end to the other.
I started a thread about what I thought was a brake line that had rubbed hole in it or???
Got a lot of feed back (thanks) bought 25ft of the copper/nickel line and a small tool to do the flare`s.
Later noticed Fluid running down the edge of the inner plastic fender, The Brake MC was leaking between it and the Booster.
OH great! But this was a good time to upgrade to the newer Alum/Plastic reservoir MC used from 87 and on, and get rid of the rusty 86 MC. Picked up one from O`Really`s for an 89.
Had to make 2 new lines to the P Valve. Gravity bled them and all was good
Got through that learning curve.
Made a trip from NV to SD and back, brakes worked ok, but still had a leaky drip.
It was the "P" Valve at the rear where the rear Brake line connects. A little rubber plug was puking. Replaced it with a new one, but introduced air into the system
I have replaced brakes, MC, bled/flushed the systems many times. But this Ford with the proportional Valve has me stumped. yeah I read about the centering valve and using to tool to center it. Just got one off the internet. First one was plastic and would not catch the threads to screw in. Just got a metal one that threaded right in. Forget the plastic one`s.
So not sure if it is centered or not.
I have the Motive pressure Bleeder, but the cap if for my Mercedes Diesels.
Picked up a Motive cap that is for the later Ford trucks, but does not fit. GRRR
Motive is so simple to flush the lines.
Getting late in the day and 22 tonight and 30 tomorrow (Sat) and snow 1 - 2" and Sat night 1 - 3", what the weather guessers said, and it is Friday.
So Iam thinking to throw in the towel and have some shop get it working next week.
OK Iam done blabbing....
