Spongy brakes
Gents,
Brand new rotors, calipers and shoes. Did Not touch rear drums. Absolutely NO difference from before.
(Bear in mind 2 years ago and roughly 2k miles I redid all brake lines, rear drums and shoes, front calipers, rotors and pads.) this was done as lines were severely corroded.
Did it again and finished today as brakes still mushy.
I am getting good fluid when bleeding and can't figure out why there is no bite in stopping. I am leisurely coming to a stop. It's as if front aren't getting enough pressure.
No lights, codes.
WTF😡🔫???
**rear lines replaced 2 years ago

Yes I replaced all lines 2 years ago. Is it possible my proportion valve or the secondary one is bad? No codes or lights....

I've heard these trucks have a weak brake system to begin with. Is that true? My pedal goes just a little under 2/3 of the way down and the rears don't feel (or look) like they do much stopping. I've tried adjusting without much effect. I know the previous owner had the front hoses replaced so I'm not sure if the system was bled right. Would this cause the problem or would it be obvious if I had air in the line? My pedal holds steady at stop.
