Topic: LSPV Removal

[libanker]

i just removed the lspv valve. i upgraded master cylinder to 1 inch bore, replaced booster with new  cardone booster cardone booster , replaced vacuum line. added wildwood proportion valve.

i capped the return line to the right caliper.

brake are not soft at all. when truck is off brakes are hard. they soften when started. the truck stops fine but has alot of travel. brakes engage and stop but towards the low end of the pedal. that doesn't sit right with me.

truck has all new brakes around. 32 inch tires on 15x10. there are no leaks and truck was bled out 3x. (Each time i bleed I do get a little air.) i understand i may stlll have some air in the lines but the pedal travel is just more than i like.
Hoses have been replaced with braided stainless lines .


I have already adjusted the pedal and the brake sensor. Could it just be air is still trapped in the line and I will have to keep bleeding?

Any suggestions?

Yes!! Is this how you are bleeding them? Did you bench bleed the MC before install?

Also how is the free play in the pedal rod adjustment? If you have all these new parts the pedal rod may have a little too much slack or not enough.

If you did not bench bleed you will get the same results!! Look at your MC when the rig is on all fours, the front of the MC is tilted up, that is where the air is sitting!!

Make sure your proportioning valve is turned all the way to "more brake" (open)  when you bleed. I had my knob turned the opposite direction and had the same issues you're describing.
