have a 2000 with a recently replaced master cylinder due to soft brakes. Did a gravity bleed on the brakes, still soft so took it to a shop and they ran it through 2 vacuum bleeds and still got a soft pedal.
Ive got two opinions thus far and looking for some clarity. First opinion is i have a bad booster as well. In my mind my pedal going half way to the floor would not be symptoms of a bad brake booster as it seems i have plenty of boost to depress the pedal. Second opinion is that i have a bad check valve in my vacuum line to the booster. This also seems like it would cause a lack of pressure and not exactly my problem.
A bit of info on the jeep, new master as i said, chevy lines up front that arent that old, zj discs on back that arent that old and a prop valve from a zj. My brakes slow my jeep down but in no way stop it quickly-it would have to be slick outside for me to dream about locking them up. Jeep has 32's so im not running extreme tire size. Has a stainless line for the rear and i re-made the lines when i did the zj swap a bit ago. Problem has recently come up so i dont think its an issue with my actual setup.
Any ideas on this?
