bleeding brakes with a prob valve?
« on: Jan 27, 2010, 06:42:05 PM »
i have rear discs on my truck and the brakes work really well, but the pedal is squishy. i can lock up all 4 brakes going down a highway but i want it to be really tight...

i was thinking to bleed them u open the valve up all the way? any info would be great.  :turtlehead:

Are you asking about the OEM LSPV or an aftermarket prop. valve?

I am going to be doing it soon. In the process of installing rear discs and a prop. valve. I would say to open it all the way up and bleed.
