My 95 f350 brake job results so far

Well since pads gone had to tear into 17 years of fools working on my brakes,learn alot about mental capacity of others screwing with stuff,anyway enough of my rant,had a rabs light and brake light after new pads-that was fixed as soon as I bled rabs module out,had ton of air in it,had a time getting frt to bleed with vac pump,sucked to -25hg and old adage is true,old 95 flex lines were swelled inside restricting flow,put new on and bled out great,still have soft pedal but havent got to rears yet,afraid of whats under those drums!Not good when car stops suddenly and my 5k # truck w/full trailer of wood is OK with not stopping!Pee'd a litttle that day.Will keep my info coming for others to enjoy.

Sounds like a good time for rear disk brake conversion.
