hey all. I have an 88 C1500 with a 5.0. I tow a pretty small trailer with 2 ATVs and as long as there are no hills I can keep up but as soon as I hit a hill it just dogs out. Is there any way to make this thing pull a little better? Obviously upgrading the engine would do it but I don’t have the...
So I tried this yesterday. No luck. I had the back up very very high. Had a buddy watch as I tapped the pedal. No bubbles. Just fluid movement like a geyser. So I’m going with a bad master cylinder. I’m going to change it and see what happens. I’ll keep ya posted.

I just looked in there because I wanted to make sure they were adjusted. I just replaced both wheel cylinders last year. Everything was dry. Maybe I’ll get a new OBS master cylinder and see what happens. I also deleted the RWAL because I thought that might have been the issue too. It was all...
