I have an 87 (Wagoneer, XJ, 4x4, AW4, 4.0), that I have done extensive brake work on since 2004 (have put 43,000 miles on her since I bought it), and everything was working fine except the vacuum booster last 3-4 months. Needed to get it inspected so had to replace the Vac booster. The new vac booster (rebuilt) I installed is working. I also replaced the master cylinder, with a brand spanking new one (not rebuilt), cast iron Master Cylinder.
Now all I get, even after bleeding twice (using a one man brake bleeder kit I have used several times before with good results), is a mushy peddle (feels like standing on a bag of marsh mellows):smsoap:, down to 80% of stroke, then brakes work and peddle gets firm.
I bleed the MC first. This is about 30th life time I have overhaul of a brake system since 1973, so this is not my first brake job.
Any ideas folks?
