About to the point of just selling out and be done. Spent 15 hours installing 4 wheel disc brakes on the rear and about as much time getting the coaches brakes to actually work. Working is a pretty loose term here too. After getting the kit installed, I have really no braking. Spent ton of time bleeding with various methods. Then, I installed a new master cylinder 34 mm model from O'riley and a new all disc PV4 combiner valve. Spend the last 6 hours bleeding. Not much better. I bleed with a suction bleeder from Harbor Freight. Ran a quart of fluid through and no bubbles. Brakes are worse than when I started. I can't think there is air in the system at this point. Dumped $1800 in parts and lots of time. Frustrated that there is no qualified mechanics in the DFW area to help maintain my coach. The person referred by local GMCers lives in Athens 60 miles away. Not practical as he has a full time job and does not have time for big projects. The thrill is now gone an
d I'm about to fire sell a nice GMC II with no brakes. Any idea what needs to be the next step to get this thing back on the road? Where is the closest place to get someone qualified to get this coach fixed?
