1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Totally in the wrong thread when I posted this! My apologies.

 

Raising the signal!

 

Fellas, stumbled across a primarily later gen group buy/discount thing, but they do sell lights also. 15% off at the moment.

May be worth a peak to just look at the lights if you need such a thing.

 

I've never tried it

 

Is that the transfer case?

 

Where is he, can somebody swing by and make sure he's ok? Haven't heard from him in a while.

 

Funny thing is that it's not totally out of place here.

 

I'm hoping I don't have to do this to fix this soft pedal. Anyone got a phone number for Gehoff? He hasn't logged on since March.

 

I remember reading this back when someone posted early spring and added everything up. Total cost runs about $1500 for everything (brakes calipers, pads, lines, booster, cylinder). Everything I’ve heard is the guy is not responsive to any communication. Best bet is buy the stuff he wrote above and make it happen or live with pedal mush. Sorry bud.

 

Pretty sure that's the same guy from the FB page. Might have better luck there. I see him post every other week or so

 

Yup that is him, thats why somebody here flamed him. He would rather be on FB than here.

 

I’m not a facebutt member so I can not vouche to his comings and goings. I only read here from commenters posting Instasham messages and then the brake guy himself says he hasn’t answered a phone call for weeks. His words. Maybe and hopefully he can be reached quick.

Pretty sure the secret remedy fix is what he posted already per larger cylinder and double d booster. $$$

 

How is the brakes? Are you all done?

 

Yeah I wrapped it up earlier. Horrible soft pedal now. Hoping I just don't have all the air out. Gonna try bleeding one more time.

 

SOS performance makes an adapter for the Sequoia master. I have no idea how it will work with drums but it does work with four wheel disc

 

taking a crack at wood working this week. Making a desk, should be done tomorrow night. I just need to put thw top together and stain it.

 

Give it another go at bleeding. I had recently performed an overhaul on replacing various brake lines and tore down the front and rear brakes to clean, inspect, paint, and re-install. I flushed the fluid and had to go back and bleed a 2nd time.

Since there is no actual measurement / reference to how firm (or not) is was originally, in my mind, it always felt like it was *not* as firm as before. It wasn't until a couple of weeks later, that I could tell how much better the brakes were working. Perhaps the additional time helped "bed" the brake pads to the rotor / drum.

 

I had some brake lines replaced. Took it back to be re-bled two times & just wasn't right. Then, had some work done at another mechanic & got the truck back with brakes back to what they should've been from go. Don't know why, (front tie rods), but that air bubble passed finally. Trust your gut, if it's wrong it's wrong - but go batty over it, just try stuff to help it pass.

 

I'll keep trying to bleed them. I can pump them a few times to build up pressure and then they feel great and bite hard. I think once I solve the soft pedal I'll be really pleased with the upgrade.

 

He is more responsive here if you are on FB...he's an admin...

 

Right, but from the Aussie perspective, the popularity and frequency of Bud to Americans is on par.

And the phrase sounds great with an Aussie accent. "Fosters, it's Australian for Bud!"

 

See i wasn't sure if PHM meant:

1. "What the?"
2. "White trash?"
3. Or ""What's that?"

Could be the bolt pattern like you said

 

Good evening gents, how are things going? Seems like the last time I was here, we were in the middle of a global pandemic.



Oh wait, we still are #!$@@%*

 

@Hooptytrix!

You're back!

 

in many ways, were far worse off now than when you left

 

I’m still doing my best to stay away from people but I have to much going on. I was just telling the misses it’s time to shut it down for a few months again. My dr keeps checking in to make sure I’m staying home, if it were that simple

 

My buddy dropped this off to help with my glaucoma. Homemade strawberry jam.



Time just disappears (and it’s delicious)

 

My little sisters have been going to school about 2-3 days a week and Ive been working, we living in a weird time for sure

 

Is it good for Arthritis too?
