Just cried lol

I was scrolling through. Oh that looks like Joe's truck. ...oh.. that is Joe's truck. She looks wounded. She'll heal better.

Yeah at first I just did the front lines because I couldn't figure out how to separate the rears and drove around with them. Even with just doing the fronts I could tell a distinct difference im assuming because most of the braking is done in the front.

Do you have a part number or size you ordered?

I haven't put them on the Raptor yet. We have only had it for about two weeks. They go on all my toys though. Makes for about a 5 minute flush/bleed on the front of my bikes and allows me to bleed all four corners of the Z without help.


I just sent them an email requesting part numbers for the Raptor.

I used a little $10 kit I got from autozone. Worked well, it's just a bottle that you hang on the frame with a magnet and connect a tube to the bleeder valve. Only problem with the one I had was the magnet wasn't very strong so it fell a couple of times when it had fluid in it.

Took it to dealer to get power steering pump replaces. Hope they do the rack also.

Yours went out too!

Damn Ford! this is too common of a problem with the Raptor. I believe they need to go back to the drawing board.

Yuppers. The night run put the final nail though the heart. Lol

I am guessing you have air in there somewhere, Wilson. I have run SS lines on a lot of different rides from sport bikes to autoX cars and never had one feel spongier.

It will likely work it way out but if not, I would be bleeding again. Oh, and if you aren't using speed bleeders... order them!!!

Thanks that's what I was thinking. Guy that did it had the speed bleeder, it was worse when I did the breaking in proses. Wife was behind me and said she saw blue smoke I didn't have any stoping power good thing I didn't need them. They seem better now but you should be able to slam on the breaks and have something.

Loaded the SVC v2.0 tune right after I picked it up from the dealer service center. Seems mellow compared to 5 Star but only driven about 35 miles so far.

If you can't stand your truck on the nose wih SS lines, you definately have air in the system. I would touch base with the guy that bled them and see if he will give it another go.

I have a vacuum bleeder but that isn't "speedbleeders" I was referring to. I put these on everything... Speed Bleeder Bleeding Brakes Bleeding Motorcycle Brakes Automotive Bleeder Screw Brake Bleeder
