60 front or rear? does the 60 have stock brakes and what is the other axle/brakes?

chevyrunner · 09-11-2006, 11:07 AM

The D60 has 3/4 ton calipers front and back

Anyway, you've got 3/4 ton discs front and rear on D60's and a 1 ton MC and you need better brakes?

Are they bled?

chevyrunner · 09-13-2006, 06:27 AM

yes they have been bled i have ran about 4 bottles of brake fluid in them. I may have to keep bleding them until i get brakes

i think you might need more info for some help
like
what the problem is
low pedal ?
no stopping power?
are you running stock mc?
do you still have the stock proportion valve in the lines?

you may not have the volume of fluid needed for caliper travel for the rear

chevyrunner · 09-14-2006, 06:14 PM

no stopping power going down hill.I still have the factory brake lines on it and i have put a 1ton mc on the 4runner brake buster.there is a man in a club near where i live that showed me his and it works fine.

I've seen alot of write ups on it and the stock yota booster should be fine. Did you make sure the push rod is going into the booster/MC deep enough? Its gonna have to push a little more fluid than it did with the stock toyota MC, but you should still be able to do it. Might even read some write ups on it just to see if you missed anything important.

Your saying that you have to really stand on the pedal to get it to stop?

rcurrier44 · 09-16-2006, 08:11 AM

Are you sure your booster is working? Did you blead the perportioning valve? My budys 4-runner was the same way untill he realized the valve had a breather on it too.
