Brake bleeding issues (Edit: see bottom)

from what i have read in the past those res valves are for racing or master mounted lower than brakes so it dosnt drain back in to master .

but if it works for you then great.

i ran hydro boost and 1 ton master with 60/14ff and disk all 4 corners. willwood valve and perfect. all on a k10 frame.

i think you get better pedel feel and travel from hydro boost.
 
Make sure you put the calipers on correctly. If they're swapped side to side, the bleeder screws won't be at the top like they're supposed to be.

Yeah, the more I anger myself with this, the more I am thinking hydroboost is gonna be it.

Anybody got a complete hydroboost set up they wanna sell me, for me to convert? :ears::deal:

Those who are now scared to do rear disc conversions on their K5, note that I'm doing this on my longbed crew-cab and I'm anal about brakes, so this is an entirely different animal than a K5. (I should know -- my K5 went like a charm!)

Mine didn't. Exact same problems like you. Truck has been down for 2 months. 3 MCs, 2 prop valves, new metal lines, 4 calipers, 15 of the 32oz bottles of brake fluid and we are just getting to where it is safe to drive on the street.
 
well it turns out my master cylinder is shot, so i jus ordered my p30 ms. will be in tomorrow morning
