[QUOTE="markfuga, post: 977162, member: 10964"] The brakes are now operational! The pedal isn’t as high as I wanted it to be but the feel and function is perfect. On a test run down the road I was able to easily lock up the rear tires. The 10 pound valves work great, the pedal response is consistent each time the brakes are applied. Overall the brakes are smooth, not sudden/jerky or slow in response; I’m very pleased with the outcome. Also: the power and acceleration is INSANE! It’s a completely different truck and a total adrenaline rush. The amazing part is, I don’t have the Swamps IDM or the TS chip installed yet…. Holy smokes, not sure I can handle it! Here are a couple personal notes to anyone who’s doing all new brake lines into a truck (these are seen in the pictures marked with red arrows or circled). These tips (I consider them requirements) will eliminate pre-mature failure of the brake lines at the fittings. I mention these only because I see alot of guys neglect these steps. 1. Tie the lines at the back of the master cylinder to some sort of bracket. This prevents the lines from moving at the fittings when the body and frame flex in different angles from each other. 2. Make a small coil of brake line shortly after the master cylinder. This acts like a spring to absorb the flex of the body and frame. The coils need to be on both front and rear lines. 3. Make a bracket to hold the lines to the frame, close to the fitting. Again, this prevents the line from flexing at the fitting. [/QUOTE]
