I finally did it. Installed my Hydroboost. Issue now. - 04/28/19 12:32 PM
I did everything per the hydratech instructions. Made my own PTFE braided lines. Correct install every which way. I pushed the DOT3 fluid out and pushed in DOT4. I used about 1/2 gallon of fluid until the brown muck that was in there came out looking like extra virgin Greek olive oil. Used a pneumatic one man Air bleed system. I gotta say, it looks amazing in my engine bay. Testing it now has led me to an issue. When I step on the brake pedal the RED emergency brake light illuminates on my dash.. Every single time I press the brake pedal. Is there more air in my brake lines?? ... Did the proportioning valve lose its mind because I have crazy amounts of pressure going through my braking system now? Factory Vacuum boost assist is 1,250psi. The Hydratech system pushes 2,150psi. I haven't changed anything else on the braking system. Police Duty rear drums and front single piston calipers. I do have new Stainless lines, caliper rebuild kits and a new proportion block with rear bias dial on the way....but my father taught me to install one thing at a time and make sure systems are working before I introduce to many variables and then in hunting for a gremlin
Red brake light... What to begin from?
