Weak. As in you feel like your not going to stop. This is from 25 mph and to come to a stop takes great effort on the pedal.
-
Brakes are very weak when I press on the pedal. I’ve rebuilt the existing system. I may need to try to bleed them again?
-
Thanks for the feed back.....my pic shows the vehicle, but a good point on pickup.....
-
Has anyone converted drums to disk brakes? I've been looking on-line for a kit or other advise but have not had much success.
-
Thanks, I’ll take a look for sure.
-
Thanks.

Were you able to get a reply for AC on your truck? I have a 6 volt 1948 B1B and would like to put an AC in it.

I have been having problems getting the old oil pan off. I took out all the bolts and is wouldn't budge. Not really sure what to do next. I don't want to bang on it too hard and bend it.

Greetings to all. I just received my new gaskets for my 48 B-1-B pickup. There was a strong drip leak midway on the oil pump side of the oil pan. Will the new gaskets need any pretreatment before I install?? An oil rub or some gasket pretreat?? The new ones are the Felpro cork appearing gaskets.

1948 B1-B Pickup. Has anyone had any problem getting the rear hubs back on the vehicle?? I have reduced the brake adjusters as low as they will go. My problem may be from changing out the wheel cylinders. I replaced the old ones with new ones. The new ones are supposed to be an "exact fit". The new cylinders seem to look the same.

Does anyone know what the second set of number are on the B1B engine serial number. My truck is a 1948 B1B, engine serial number T142*4021* ......I am assuming the second set 4021 is a number meaning the 4021st engine built????

JeffR replied to whippersnapper48's topic in P15-D24 Forum
I am in the process of replacing all wheel cylinders and lastly the master cylinder. Are the above comments relative to a 1948 Dodge B1B pickup? The wheel cylinders were no problem. I'll start on the master cylinder this weekend. If I understand the comments.....this can be done from underneath the vehicle??? -
How hard would it be to rebuild the fuel pump? Or is this something that I should just replace ?
-
I was thinking the same. Thanks for your input.
-
The truck has not been started for 10 years. Would it be logical to assume the fuel pump will probably not function? Rebuild or replace?
-
Great thanks, had not thought about filling the Carb bowl.
-
I guess it is just spray fuel into the carb.....
-
How do I prime it?
-
I've been cleaning my fuel system. The carburetor has been rebuilt, new gas tank, new fuel filter. When I try to start the truck, how long should it take for the fuel pump to get gas to the carburetor??
-
Very good, thanks for the thoughts. I am hoping I can find some of the old fluid in a line and will do as you suggest.
-
Yes, I've been reviewing the process of flushing out the system. Do you have any suggestions as to the process. IE: some say denatured alcohol etc. and how to do it??
-
Well, the sad part is I let my truck sit for many many years and the fluid has seeped out. I did a full body off restoration in 1986. I added the wrong type fluid to it a few years later and destroyed the braked system. Then I had the brake system completely redone but I didn't keep a record of the type of fluid they used. I assume DOT 3, but after seeing what happens when the wrong fluid is added I am paranoid. Do you think there may be some fluid left in the lines to test?
