I have an 86 ranger std cab 2.9l 2wd. Up front it has equal length beams from a 69 f-100 and at the moment until I can swap the knuckle for one that will allow disc brakes it has these enormous drums on it. Im hoping to drive it for a bit while i save some money and gather more parts. Problem is when I hit the brakes the rears work normally and the fronts do absolutely nothing. If I push harder on the brake pedal the rears simply lock up and the front still does no noticeable braking. However if i give the brake pedal two quick short pumps first the truck will stop perfectly.
I have bled and rebled and rebled the brakes two many times too count and cannot get any more air bubbles out although the pedal does feel a bit spongey.
Im wondering if maybe the stock master just doesnt move enough fluid in one stroke to apply the front brakes? If so what would be a good route to go as far as upgrading the master?
Any other ideas or thoughts are much appreciated!
thanks,
