i Just got done swapping a 1999 explorer axle with discs into my 1999 ranger that had the ranger 8.8 with drums. I got all the brake lines hooked up, and made sure there are no leaks, but now when i step on the brakes, the pedal goes nearly to the floor with very little response from the brakes, and then i finally get good stopping power. once they grab, the stopping power is awesome.
I just want to know if there is a way to make the pedal feel more progressive, like it used to, as it is a little unnerving to step on the pedal and have it go to the floor before it stops. i already adjusted the post (i dont know what it is called) that pushes on the master cylinder, and i bled them until there were no more bubbles.
What do you guys think i should do? It seems like there is air in the lines, but i bleed them and i get a good hard stream. Do i need to go to the explorer master?
