Square one Redux

Snow day at the J.O.B.     Spent the day at Da’s to get the yodatruck back on the road.   New lines between the master and slave cylinder,,, NO LOVE.   Fought with it for an hour trying to get the system to bleed and finally said “FUCKIT!” and put the new master cylinder we had bought but not installed (there was a new one on the truck so I figured, WRONGLY, ‘its new, its good’.)

New cylinder, bench bled, installed, hooked up the vacuum bleeder and 10 seconds later was tightening bleeder bolts.    Adjusted the pedal height, and took it for a spin.   

DIFFERENT TRUCK from the one I test drove with Da two weeks ago!!!     Took it for a little torture test (needed to vent some frustration this thing had instilled in me.).   Took it up a steep and muddy hill to an old cemetary in 4by,,, Mud flyin’ high and everywhere and all four tires spinning and spitting goop all over the place,,,,,

BUT! She climbed that hill like nothing flat and nothing broke or gave up and the pedal was PERFECT the whole time.

I’m confident in this repair job and every single stinking part of the clutch train is BRAND NEW.   Not the optimal way, but its there and the system is solid again.

And now, its beer thirty,,,,
