Need some help here on my 2000 XJ
First off I have the twin pot Ausi(GoJeep) caliper/rotors in the front and ZJ rotors/calipers in the rear. ZJ Prop valve. They work great. I was using the stock MC/Booster and while the braking was great I wanted to change the pedal feel. It was a bit firm and wanted more of a stock feel. Taking Fordguy's advice I swapped in a WJ MC and booster.
Swap went fine and everything fits. I first bench bled the WJ MC and then pressure bled it after install along with the prop/combo valve (ZJ).
When I press the pedal the initial feel and engagement is great. However, after anything past mid foot pressure and into heavy braking it feels like the system is not putting out any more pressure and the pedal bottoms out. No leaks in the system. Pedal drops a little when the engine is started, so I don't think the booster is bad. It feels fine with consistent braking until you really push the pedal, then it feels like it hits a stop and it won't apply any more pressure.
I re-bled the system last nigh using someone pumping the pedal while I open the bleeder valved. RR, LR, RF, then LF. No difference. Thinking of going back to the stock mc/booster, but the WJ setup should work.
