Once you get on the road, I'd like to know if you seem to get a LOT of brake dust from the Wilwood pads. I'm getting quite a bit. |
I'll report back... had a small step back this morning... I'll explain below.

Thanks Hector, that's good to know. I guess I'll just leave it then.
So last night I got the gear oil in the rearend and bench bled the master cylinder. I put it on the truck and hooked up the lines, but since it was pitch black outside and no helper, I cleaned up and called it a night.
This morning when I was about to leave for work, I noticed a big puddle under the front of the truck, concentrated in the middle, but also the passenger side of the cross member. I had to have forgotten to tighten one of the brake line fittings, or I have a bad flare because it was brake fluid. Thankfully I didn't bleed the whole system or completely fill the MC, so it wasn't a ton of fluid, but it looked like about 8 ounces... still a large amount.
I guess I'll be tightening all of my fittings this evening.
