Ok, I posted this over on JU but I never really got any constructive responses, so here goes:
Ok, heres what I got... 98 XJ, 102k, with the following just replaced: rear brake shoes, spring kit, self-adjusters, and wheel cylinders. I bled the entire system as well.
My problem before was that the back wheels wouldn't even lock up on packed snow/ice. It was solved with the new wheel cylinders, shoes, etc...
My problem now is this: If I nail the pedal at 40 - 45, the pedal goes about half way down and all 4 wheels lock up, as they should.(I don't keep them locked of course) Now, if (at the same speed) I hit the pedal firmly but not enough to lock anything up, the Jeep does a nice nose dive and comes to a quick halt. But, as I'm stopping this way, if I keep pushing harder on the pedal, it'll go d@mn near to the floor with no increased stopping power going to the brakes.
Now this problem was most likely there before, I just didn't notice it. I just came across it while testing the brakes after the rebuild.
Thanks...
