I have a 1996 mazda b 3000 4x4 5 speed. I also had a 1995 explorer 4x4 that shit the bed so I stole the rear 8.8 and abs pump out of the explorer and swap them into the Mazda
New parts:
front and rear calipers
front and rear rotors
all 4 pads
all brake hard lines and all 3 rubber hoses
(basically everthing but the master cylinder)
Before the swap the brakes worked fine. The Truck had a 7.5 drum brake rear.
I Have a motive products pressure bleeder so all the fluid is brand new and there is noo air in the lines after bleeding the whole system
I started the truck up and took it on a test drive and the brakes don't work right. the first 75% of the petal it just travels and nothing happens, then from there it gets firm but if you press it any further the brakes in the back just lock up and skid
anyone have a clue why the fronts seem to be not even trying to work? it seems like if you pump the petal after a few pumps it seems as though the fronts start to work but drive another mile and its back to bad petal travel and rears locking up
Im not much of a ford guy and these abs pumps have me confused I tried both the Mazdas and explorers abs pumps and bled real good between each swap but still n luck
Any body do this swap and have the same problem and have a solution??
Thanks
