Cant Stop, wont stop.

I like lock-em-up brake strength as well. Not that would... but an experienced driver would appreciate the power. Juice brakes all the way for me. Nothing gets hippies off the road than hearing 6 tires skidding at them... oops well I guess I just admitted I like to lock em up at times. But THAT's
understandable!

If I heard 6 tires skidding towards me, I would cringe and wait for the impact. Lol

Why exactly do you all want to skid your trucks around?

I mean you are gonna feather them for a stop.

I guess in my mind I just see a bunch of dudes skidding to every stop. Lol

My Suburban does not have ABS, so I am in no way pro ABS. But I also am in no way excited when someone has to ask how to lock they're brakes up.

As for @TubeTruck, it does not take a one ton swap to lock up your brakes.

Many performance oriented cars have a button to turn off traction control and abs, which I totally get on the track. I’ve had a couple and it definitely makes it more predictable at the limits when you’re hyper-focused and paying attention.

Not sure I’d care either way in my square though. Never going that crazy. I’ll either have enough time to brake or shame on you for pulling out in front of me.

The only think I love about Anti Lock brakes is the lower insurance premiums if you vehicle has them. They for as already said, people who can't control a skid, and for those knee jerk reactions to just jump hard on the brake pedal and lose control of the steering. Also for those who can't drive on snow and ice. I rarely touch a brake pedal on powdered snow and ice. If you need your brake pedal on ice other than to finish a complete stop from about a 1-2 mph crawl, then you're going to fast.

I see where you're coming from. How much vacuum is your engine pulling? I would expect to see about 15" so that your booster would function well.
How does the pedal feel?

**** ya lock 'em up... every opportunity. No of course not, but it's good to have that power all the same. Kinda like you can't have too much torque and HP... you can't have too much braking power (if you are a skilled driver).
I also like really strong dope. I hhhhhaa hhave a really hhhhigh resistance ttto drrugs.. I mean medicine. And booze too... hic.

When i got the truck it was not running and the brake lines were so clogged full of sludge the fronts worked but not well and the rears did not work at all. I used a vacuum to drain the whole system while my wife kept the reservoir full for me so as not to get any air in the lines. Once i saw clear pouring out all the fittings i tightening up the fitting while still under vacuum. The brakes are working good now but it feels like they are only working to 75% - 80% of their potential force.

I dont know if they are vacuum or hydra, I have replaced almost all the vacuum lines to everything including the reservoir.

You must be registered for see images attach

Oooohhhh lookit that sweet air cleaner.
Didja ever try to flip the lid lol?

 

[Rusty Nail]

I've never heard people advocating for their brakes to lock up. Lol

I've driven bikes and cars over 130 before and never once hoped if I had to hit the brakes I wanted them to lock up. That's stupid imo because you lose steering and control but, whatever makes you happy.

Dude. Thar's nuts and you can count me as a brake locking advocate. I support lockin em up!

Cuz lookit here...it makes a big noise.
People only hear that **** in MOVIES man. Squealing to a stop is a HUGELY powerful skill. Mastery of which , squaling tires for effect , begins with choosing the right time. Sometimes, even when the time chooses you - like in Mother Russia. mastery of the skill.
mastery .
skill .
squal.

Do it and all eyes are on you.
It's handy.
Show em what u want em to see when they look.

This is gonna come out making me an *******. But I dont mean anything by it.

How could you design for a Porsche and not know the difference between braking systems?

That is a very valid question. Ill try my best to explain... Im a prototype Engineer. Ive made parts for SpaceX, NASA, Boeing and many Aerospace companies. I dont even ask what they are for. If they tell me I listen, if they dont tell me its none of my business. As a design engineer for Porche they would tell me they needed to make a old 1975 Porche into a GT3 race car. They instructed me to widen the body of the car with the computer. They told me exactly where to widen it. So i scanned in the vehicle with a 3D scanner and I widened it. When they started cutting into the Porches body to widen it I would tell them where to cut, where to pull, what side needed to go higher. I still dont know anything about Porsche's or Boeing or SpaceX Rockets. But i can make something from a drawing on a napkin.

 

[Kim Burke]

Back to the goop you flushed out of the system? what color was it? If PO accidently put oil in the master, that would give the system a mysterious feel.

Sounds just like my step dad. He is a computer security analyst/Hacker tracker. Very smart. He can tune a car. But that's about all.

Dude you ****** crack me up!

Youh made me actually lol when I read this.

that's the look you'd get locking up brakes and squaling tires behind someone. Then probably this next

Then maybe one of these

Which you're right equals for me.

I'd like to see it on video but, this is what I found.

Wish he was going faster and had bigger tires to make a louder squal. I haven't heard a good one of those in years.

You get me. It's damn near as-if gratuitous burnouts have already become a thing of yester-year. Today's cars simply are.not.cool.
Traction control and anti-lock brakes can SMD.

I hear ya man but, as soon as I put that BBC in my square I'll be bringing back the gratuitous burn out you can bet on that.

I'm too cheap to accelerate the wear on my tires!
