Dumb question, but I assume you did adjust your rear shoes first?

Past that, I could offer no explanation.

Hmm, do you have air in the lines?

And how far is the pedal traveling?

I swore I had a new truck after I did the 30mm conversion. Now my truck stops faster and easier then my daughter's little puke scooter two door.

I done the 30 mm conversion and recommend it to everyone . I think I had some air in the junction valve so between the conversion and the air in the junction valve I got brakes Thanks everyone
