Update: Now I'm just confused and frustrated...after all the bleeding last night, the pedal still felt like crap. This morning I didn't notice any change, then again there was snow/ice on the ground and I wasn't paying attention.
Got in the truck at lunch and the pedal felt amazing, just as firm as it should be, no drop of the pedal and it was stopping like it should. Was extremely surprised, but didn't understand. Felt great all day, did some running around after work with my better half and when I backed in the garage I noticed a burning smell, so did she. Got to looking and found that the left drum was very hot to the touch where the right was dead cold. Picked up the rear end and found the left very hard to move, where the right was easy. Keep in mind I just adjusted them 2 days prior. I backed off the left and adjusted the right up to where both would turn about 1 revolution before stopping, just dragging. Drove it again, now the pedal is back to crap. What gives? :ybrick:
I checked to make sure the star adjuster's would not loosen up by themselves by trying to turn it down, the wouldn't move unless I pressed in the tab.
What would make it come out of adjustment like that? They are new shoes and wheel cylinders, but damn. I despise drum brakes, and this makes it me hate them that much more. Am I correct in saying if I do the rear disc conversion that a different master cylinder is pretty much required? If so, I may just have to bite the bullet and put one on...just have to figure out which one. I really don't want to have to replace the booster too, since it is working fine and boosters are outrageous.
I read some posts about a chevy one that would that would work with a bracket, but haven't researched it further yet...
Any direction here would be awesome...grabbing at straws :shrug:
