    What if I don't change my Master Cylinder on a disc conversion?

    Not any less safe than it was before, just that the dual master is safer as you have two kicks at the cat if you blow a line. I did the disc swap on my 65 Stang and left the single master, never had a problem with fluid volume but having said that, I'm planning on going to a dual master...

    Brake problem?

    Well that's a new one, thanks!! I'll get them to try that, there's not many stones left unturned so maybe that's the ticket :-D

    Brake problem?

    Well now they tell me if you clamp the front hoses the pedal comes up but still isn't firm, kind of mushy, they're thinking prop valve or booster maybe. They're also talking back and forth with the Institute of Nothr American Auto Techs or something along those lines. Apperently they checked the...

    Brake problem?

    Still nothing :banghead: About the only thing that hasn't been tried is the prop valve, it costs about $300 and is non- returnable so if that isn't it then there's some more money flushed :angry7:

    Brake problem?

    Just saw your post, it's been bled a hell of a lot but not as many times as you mentioned. I'll throw that angle at them too, thanks.

    Brake problem?

    A couple more questions: If the back brakes aren't adjusted properly you say the front won't come on, would that have an affect on your pedal or you just have crap for brakes? The bleeder screw for the rear brakes in the frame, is that something that is independant of the RWAL valve? I ask...

    Brake problem?

    Thanks for all the extra tips and ideas, I will run it by them in the morning and see if anything helps. One thing we can eliminate is the RWAL/ABS issue, it is not plumbed into the lines at all, must have crapped out at one time and somebody bi-passed it altogether. I sure hope we can...

    Brake problem?

    1990 Dodge RAM, 4x4 Well I'm still going freakin nuts, here's the full run down of where I'm at and how I got there: I'm driving along going down a hill, go to brake and I suddenly I have no pedal, the 4 wheel light thing on the dash flashes for a second. I pump the pedal and it comes back...

    Brake problem?

    I've got a question for you guys that may have owned one of these ABS typ Rams, the module and valve are fairly expensive and I've never been a fan of that stuff anyway. My question is, can I just eliminate it altogether? Remove it and add some line and away I go? If not any guess which part is...

    Brake problem?

    Thanks the additional info George, we'll be trying a few different things today and see what happens. Not even sure if a replacement control module is available in town. First thing to try will be bleeding this thing at the control valve, didn't even know it was there and then go from there...

    Brake problem?

    Well with the exception of the master cylinder everything I've replaced needed to be so I guess that's the good news. It never occured to be that a 90 would have ABS, I would have thought mid 90's or so. I'll definitely check it out.

    Brake problem?

    90's had ABS, that's odd, before this happened my rear brakes locked up a couple times during the week under light pedal pressure so hmmm I'll check into that as well. The master was bled as well and the first time I lost the pedal one of the lights that show all four wheels came on briefly...

    Brake problem?

    If you stay on the pedal it goes back to the floor. The lines were bled the conventional way and then again with a pressure bleeder. It's a 1990, I doubt it has ABS, I'm stumped :munky2:

    Brake problem?

    This is in my 90 Dodge Ram not the A-body but brakes are brakes so was hoping someone would have some ideas. I lost my brake pedal pressure the other day out of the blue, pedal went to the floor but with a few pumps it comes back up. You have to do that each time. Had a look, the brake shoes...

    Brake booster replacement

    I just took one out on a 75 Dart, it's a little tight in there but there's not much to it. Four bolts like you mentioned, obviously your brake lines and the linkage is held in there with a bolt with a cotter pin, pull the pin and bolt out and it slides right out. It's actually one of the easier...

    Big bolt pattern?

    Thanks Chuck, that's the route I'll go :thumbup:

    Big bolt pattern?

    Well that's good to know before I start ripping things apart for no reason. I'm assuming that the 8 3/4 I have from a 70 Duster is the small pattern, can I drill them out and press in new studs or do I need to find backing plates off of an 8 3/4 that have the large bolt pattern?

    Big bolt pattern?

    Can somone confirm what I'm hoping will work. I have a 70 Duster that I'm upgrading the brakes to discs from a 75 Dart, I assume that is a big bolt pattern and if so was wondering if I could use the backing plates from the 7 1/4 rear in the Dart in my 8 3/4?
