I have 2 late models with the same problem.
1st: My '98 trail rig
Calipers seized on a trail. I installed loaded calipers. All was good for about 5 miles. Now they're semi seized. (When moving I hear the calipers clunking as 4lo and 4.88s overpower them) When the pedal is depressed, the vehicle stops regularly.
2nd: My '00 DD
Got some serious grinding when braking one day. Tore it down and replaced pads and rotors. I did one at a time. DS first, bled it, then did the PS. When depressing the caliper piston I used a C clamp and cracked open the valve before applying pressure. These are seized BAD. I just spin the rear tires in my dirt driveway when trying to move.
Could I really have blown 2 master cylinders at the same time? Am I doing something wrong? I question my already quasi mechanical abilities! I'll search as well, but does anyone have a quick link to bench bleeding? Never tried it.
Thanks in advance everyone.
