89 cherokee with weak brakes.
I was sure it was the master cyl. I just changed it, flushed all the fluid out of the lines and tested it. it is now worse than when I started. I have new pads/shoes, parking brake cables, rear wheel cyls, new master, new DS caliper and fresh fluid. I dont have to stop from road speeds as this is an offroad only jeep but I do need the brakes to hold on a steep incline. As of now I have a soft pedal and it will not pump up. The only things left in the system are rotors/drums, distribution valve (no warning lights are on) a caliper, vacum booster (booster holds presure over night so it is not leaking), and lines.
I have done many brake systems in the past but with all that I know is new I am out of ideas on what could cause this. It is acting like a bad master or air in the system. I gravity bled everything then presure bled to be sure. No air is coming out of the system, just clean, clear fluid.
I either need help or explosives. thanks for either,
Kevin
