  2. Spongy/Soft brakes

    Came with a kiss from my wife. Also I can buy more gun stuff with the money I saved and tell her, "see even though I just spent $600 on a new gun, I still saved us $1k!" And either way it didn't to me, the higher they quoted, the better I felt about my decision to do the work myself.

    Lol. Nope booster holds a vacuum. It was the MC.
  4. Spongy/Soft brakes

    sometimes its nice letting a liar know that you know. and I've been there before in a pinch when I had absolutely no time. Also, they over-torqued my bleeder nipples too I found out last night when bleeding them. Almost stripped one. I'll just never trust those places to do a quality job.
  5. Spongy/Soft brakes

    Just to make myself feel better I called the dealer for a quote on all the same work... Dealer quote was $1,963 for parts and $630 for labor. I spent $978 for everything which was: 2 Calipers 4 Premium rotors pads parking brake shoes brake fluid master cylinder oil and filter tire rotation $130...
  6. Spongy/Soft brakes

    Well thanks for talking me off the ledge, fellas. I swapped out the MC last night. Bench bled it, and then a full system bleed, and WOW! what a difference! I was actually able to get my ABS to kick in on a paved road slamming them on. I was not able to do that the day or two prior.
  7. Spongy/Soft brakes

    I've always been my own grease monkey. They were probably offended when I told them all I wanted was the brakes/ABS module bled on a scanner to ensure air was out. They were trying to upsell me on other stuff before I had even brought the truck in. When I picked it up they said, "yeah we bled...

    I'll be giving him a call in the morning to let him know I won't be back.
  9. Spongy/Soft brakes

    Apparently I had my blinders on yesterday... definitely the MC. Look at all this fluid leakin out the back. Vacuum booster probably filled too.
  10. Spongy/Soft brakes

    Good idea on the dirt road. Back in January with the snow I definitely activated my ABS. I read a couple things about the push rod from the booster to the MC needing slight adjustment that makes a big difference. Might try that as well

    when the vehicle is off they do. pressure builds as normal.
  12. Spongy/Soft brakes

    Dude at the shop said he thinks the abs module is bad and that he doubts it’s the master cylinder. Never heard of them going bad though.
  13. Spongy/Soft brakes

    Spongy before this break job. Not spongy always. I’ve had the truck 10 years.
  14. Spongy/Soft brakes

    I have a 2005 f150 FX4. 165k miles. I just replaced all 4 rotors, 2 calipers, and all pads. I did a full bleed in the proper order to get all the air out after cracking the lines for the calipers (1 has siezed piston, the other a siezed bleeder nipple that I stripped). My brakes were still...

    Throwback to that time I rode 5 hours in the February cold and rain all alone to ride the dragon and get a shirt... Shoulda checked the dang website before leaving.

    Great info!
  19. Anyone ride a dual sport/super moto?

    I mean I'm probably just going to keep the SV. If I sold it I probably wouldn't get much more than $3500 so why bother? I'd be hard pressed to get that much out of something else in that price range. Just need to sell a bunch of knives this year and maybe a DRZ can happen down the road.
  20. Anyone ride a dual sport/super moto?

    Those are bad ass. More of a street fighter though. And for the price I'd probably rather buy a FZ09. I know it's really apples and oranges but I would never be able to push super duke to anything close to its limits. Very bad ass none the less
