lol going to the couch in the ac with coffee
Beat you to it with ginger ale.


I pulled of the kellsy Kelly whatever control head for the ABS unit in my 97' gmc pu. Mines right next to the master cylinder on the skirt. So it's a closed system valve oooo. That did nothing :)


Next, I might just pull that two wire brake switch on the block. Just to make sure that value is popping up under the switch. I can cycle the brake light now by pump it but no flow ya know?...

I Usually just bleed it by the pedal like any other car. The brake system still sucks imo but never had this issue before. The worst thing it does is the front will go off in the rain even with new tires on certain roads under light braking empty. No big deal really. Drove home on it on time from north Jersey with a blown rear line. Simple common fix both times. The truck has 330,000 on it now. Few issues besides brakes.
The master has been replaced sometime ago. Zero issues with it. The blown line was hell to get the air out last time but things worked correctly. Odd mfer.

Vacuum bleed might be worth a shot now or is this system better dealt with with master cylinder pressure?

IDK too much bs on the web to read. Opinions most times.

Been there did that. I have the bleed for the front right there... zero issues there no air. It had no air in the front but I know this block has *s-word and possibly air in it. One little sticky valve and :eek:
Out the little valve comes till I get some flow. If it's a bust I'll go get the pressure top or hack one up tomorrow. Seems like a vacuum would be futile. Never worked before when I had *s-word stuck in a valve of some type. Air pressure usually moves things but blasting into the unknown could just make it worse. Proportion valve was easy to fix. Just disassemble and clean it out. Time to start at the top front again instead of the back. I read one article on shutting down the older pump for rear ABS only but this is different. Bit newer in design for the four wheel z71. Looks the same as a 1999 suburban 2500 parts truck of mine.

Tomorrow we should be able to fry eggs on the street :confused:

40 min’s in the Ninja Foodi Pro 5-1 indoor grill...hit the internal temp of 170 I had it set at...takes the undercooking/overcoming guess work out of everything with the meat probe. These half chickens were half frozen when I put ‘em in...on the left lemon & pepper, of course the lemon tends to blacken a bit... on the right a homemade concoction.

Now, I'm no dummy and far from a genius so why does fluid come out of the master cylinder when bleeding it with no air, the line into the back brakes on the block no air good flow and the line coming out of the block to the back has good flow to and no air. The same results engine running or not. No ABS light with or without the solenoid top bolted on. Nothing at the rear no nothing. Now I know the back brake hose is good cause the mfer emptied fluid out on the rim. I'm stumped... and line ain't clogged. It is using fluid from the larger reservoir toward the rear of the vehicle when bleeding it after the block. Wtf does that mean? That is the front brake reservoir I do believe. The small one was empty at first like always... now it stays full to the slit. This just gets weirder.

So fellers, tell me about dis "turbo coffee" thing.
Saw some young fellers in the break room today. They had this little brewer thing. They whipped up some coffee about the color and consistency of molasses. Then they put it in this press lookin thing and pumped it a few times. Then they all poured a shot in a Styrofoam cup. Maybe something like espresso? I'm not a coffee junky. One cup of whatever swill I can find usually works to get my head un fugged in the mornings, and I'm good.
