+1 for Uncle Gump's theory on slack calibration causing locking brake!
I tightende it up really well (can't get the f-n drum of again LOL) and the brakes are looking very good!
Back still locks before front, but evenly now and way later!
I'll get back to you after next inspections when I get the new results :)

Thank's allot everyone! This forum i f-n great! Thank you god for internet...
Good to hear...

What you have now is really just the vehicle being so light in the rear. Normal Ranger kinda stuff.

It really does work well.

Driving like you haven't stolen it help too.

My credo
Grew up in the 70s, 80s, and 90s
that's where that distribution block is supposed to control the amount of pressure between the front and rear. its supposed to be something like 60/40 and there is a check valve in case a sudden lose of fluid pressure that is supposed to block the front or rear so you keep fluid to the other set. you can get adjustable blocks to set them so they add more to the front or rear, to make the brakes work correctly. i cannot think of the proper name for that block though


edit: Uncle Gump beat me to it and remembered the name
