Spongy brake pedal tightens when braking in reverse before going bleeding back down
Okay thanks. I should be back home someday this week and I'll give it a shot and post the results here. Really hoping it is the master after this headache -

Spongy brake pedal tightens when braking in reverse before going bleeding back down
Okay that's good to know. Most people I've talked to and what I've seen online said to bottom out the cylinder. My first one I did that blew the seal, then I was going as far as I could without bottoming out and got all the bubbles out and I thought it was working until I saw it leaking. I've... -

Spongy brake pedal tightens when braking in reverse before going bleeding back down
Yeah this is that brand new mc for a k30. First time I bench bleed it, all seemed fine and didn't have any fluid. When I changed the pump and hydro boost, I rebled it and since then there's a small leak. I'm assuming I bottomed out the piston. I guess I'm not really sure when to stop pushing the... -

Spongy brake pedal tightens when braking in reverse before going bleeding back down
For sure. I know it's bled properly. I'm pretty sure the problem is in the brake system now, it's just weird I had a hard pedal at first. I know my pump was bad and hydro boost was getting there so it is what it is. I did find my mc is seeping from the plunger just a bit. I doubt it would cause... -

Spongy brake pedal tightens when braking in reverse before going bleeding back down
Okay I've changed the pump, hydro boost, and all the lines. I've bled it just by turning the wheel lock to lock. New pump obviously doesn't scream or slip, Booster feels much better than the old one. Accumulator is functioning properly, but I still have a soft pedal. I'm sure whatever the... -

Spongy brake pedal tightens when braking in reverse before going bleeding back down
Yeah I've rebuild a PTO pump once or twice and had some experience with hydrolics and I found a few good videos on it. What do you mean by the pedal going hard after the 2 reserve pumps? -

Spongy brake pedal tightens when braking in reverse before going bleeding back down
I know my pumps slipping, so I have a new pump and a rebuild kit for the hydro boost that should be at the house by now. Don't really think it's causing it but I don't know that it isn't either. I originally had practically zero pedal after I got all the air out the first time. Did some... -

Spongy brake pedal tightens when braking in reverse before going bleeding back down
I never had any problems with the brakes in the couple years I've had the truck until now. Initially when this whole thing started I made some plugs, disconnected the lines to the cylinders and plugged them. When I did that I could not move the pedal more than 1/3 it completely stopped. I... -

Spongy brake pedal tightens when braking in reverse before going bleeding back down
Nope the cylinders are stock size as for everything on the rear axle. Right now everything I have in the truck is equivalent to a k20. I've been leaning towards the fronts being the issue except everything worked fine before the new rear. Only thing I can think like you said is the shoes... -

Spongy brake pedal tightens when braking in reverse before going bleeding back down
I changed the prop valve because some times the rear would lock up and sometimes it wouldn't. Didn't make a difference obviously, it just seemed like something to eliminate. The rear axle is out of a 97 2500 I Believe. Fully rebuilt and replaced everything. I did find one of the adjustments was... -

Spongy brake pedal tightens when braking in reverse before going bleeding back down
I have a 86 K5 Blazer. Recently swapped a 90s 14 bolt in, initially had almost zero brakes, changed the master to a 1 ton and changed the proportioning valve. I can at least stop now but nothing id drive in town with. So when I drive in reverse and slam on the brakes, my pedal hardens a ton...
