    Hydroboost front brakes locking up after heating up

    I changed the lines going to the rear wheels and appears to have fixed my problem, thanks for everyone’s help!

    Hydroboost front brakes locking up after heating up

    I’ve recently replaced my rear axle and hydro boost in my 1981 sierra grande that came with factory hydroboost and was working before aside from the seals being gone and leaking everywhere. I’ve purchased a replacement unit for I believe a 1978 c3500 due to not being able to get a bolt on...

    Okay I will definitely do that, appreciate the help

    Pinion depth way off

    Backlash is consistently .006” and yes still using setup bearings with all original shims that came off in the first place

    Pinion depth way off

    Pinion was under tension, i torqued everything down before i ran it and backlash was .06” when i checked it multiple spots and times. The extra did wear off on two other spots on the ring gear if that would be helpful to you guys, or are you suggesting to re apply in a different spot and run again?

    I put the oem .037 shim in and checked the pattern and this is what I got

    Will definitely do a good once over cleaning everything and will check for burrs.

    Pinion depth way off

    I ordered that book, even if I figure it out before it comes it’s still good to have and can definitely learn something from it

    Pinion depth way off

    Yes it’s a 8.5” 10 bolt, it’s a new gear set. Thank you for the help

    Pinion depth way off

    I have measured everything possible I could measure to ensure everything going on and that I’m using for setup is the same, as I’m learning as I’m going here so really want to make sure it’s all right. Do you think a good next step would be to throw the carrier back in and see the pattern before...

    Pinion depth way off

    Okay thanks for clarifying, I will check the pattern tomorrow as I don’t have many measuring tools other than the borrowed verniers I have now. But I will still measure that stuff for piece of mind and to learn how to do it all.

    Pinion depth way off

    dumb question but could further explain what you mean by the bearing cap being half the race diameter, I didn’t see that in the videos I watched so I’ve got no clue what you mean by that. I did verify the plate was actually .250 and will do it the marking compound way after school tomorrow.

    Pinion depth way off

    I was using a 1/4 plate accross the house and using verniers to measure then subtracting the 1/4” from the measurement. This was just the way I was told to do it and then do the whole marking compound method.

    Pinion depth way off

    I’m doing a rebuild on a g80 10 bolt that I got for cheap, throwing in 3.73 gears and this is my first time doing it. I’m at the point now where I’m setting my pinion depth and the number it calls for is 4.257, the closest I can get is 4.555 and that’s with way too many shims. Good chance this...
