    need help/ideas of what to look for from this noise I keep hearing

    home made wiring harness may be my only solution

    this is my dilemma I would rather find a factory harness and strip the things I won't need or use. I've wire a car before however that was a 67 bug which has no wires hardly so that was simple, this truck has mountains of wires so it is a little daunting to consider this. I have a good friend...

    so couldn't resist doing a little more while waiting for dinner removed some of the rivets from the dash support to get the driver side dash support out so I can prepare to sand the rust off and paint it.

    something wrong with breaks not sure what?

    I wanted to say thanks for everyone advice. the flex line was one problem which was resolved, my latest issue was I made a mistake and didn't realize it until today. When I was testing the flex line I never sealed the brake system and apperently that allowed alot of air to get into the system...

    something wrong with breaks not sure what?

    Yeah, I like every thing about the truck when I first test drove it compare to these newer trucks this one actually feels like a real truck. the breaks do work I've driven it more and it really does feel like there is alot of air in the lines because it takes more than half pedal travel for the...

    something wrong with breaks not sure what?

    the truck I drove was a 1 ton as well only difference was his was not crew cab. I'll look again but pretty sure was hydroboost. I thoght that so long as the booster was good it would build up pressure with the truck off making the pedal get stiff I could have been misinformed though. maybe a...

    something wrong with breaks not sure what?

    Okay, Guys I have continued trying to bleed thinking that maybe there was air because I test felt another truck simular too mine except it was a 98 1 ton but brake system was the same. and his had a much much stiffer and solid feel to the pedal was also far more responsive during breaking. I...

    something wrong with breaks not sure what?

    okay, this is something I figured. it would be nice if I could get it to be more responsive in the future. I'll do some research cause there has to be some possibility somehow, I work at fedex as a courier and drive a ws900 freightliner this thing is ancient but I have to be careful with the...

    something wrong with breaks not sure what?

    alright guys I have a 2000 k3500 and I have been driving the truck short distances due to when breaking it seemed to pull to the left, the harder I applied the break the more it pulled to the left along with there feeling like air in the system. I first thought maybe breaks where not bled...
