I'm Awesome
Got word earlier from my dad, who's been driving my truck all winter, that the brake light in dash came on, it's an 88 moonie setup and it's the bottom right side, light closest to the steering column. I can't read what it says.
Well here's the thing, e- brake cables have been cut for awhile now, and I unhooked the plugin to the e-brake pedal since it kept falling and setting the light.
New calipers, and pads on the front, new wheel cylinders and shoes in the back, they've been on maybe a year. All the lines are in good shape, no leaks, no low fluid in the MC.
It's always had a somewhat soft or far pedal travel, but it stops good. It just goes about halfway down before it catches and starts slowing down. Also just sitting in the driveway, hit the brakes with it running and hold them they seem to drop all the way down to me. or I should say the pedal does.
Now from when I first put the brakes on til now, nothing different, pedal feel, travel everythings the same.
I read that it's probably the dump valve casuing the far pedal travel and was going to check it by bypassing it. I just never got around to it.
Will the light stay on it the dump valve has no fluid going to it? It's RWAL only. Or will it come on if I unplug it? I have to wait for some warm weather to try and fix it, so it may end up parked until then. Anything else to check? I'd have to wait for better weather to yank the wheels off of it too.
