Good point, wasn't thinking about heat damage to the hose the first time. I bet it wasn't in that great a shape when I bought it. It was pulling to that side when I drove it home, that's why I replaced that caliper and the rotors and pads on both sides.

I'm just glad the pads and rotor are still good, the caliper isn't hard, the rotors are a PAIN in the ARSE!!!!


Thanks for the info guys, I'll replace the caliper again, and the rubber lines on both front sides. Turns out I need rear shoes as well so looks like I'll be broke for a few weeks LOL.

Still curious about the adjustment for the proportioning valve though, I see a set bolt there on the lever attatched to the spring, and the bolt is bent up pretty good. I took it off and now I don't see any info in my book about the valve. It doesn't list it or refer to it at all. The bleeder still works so I got lucky there at least. Funky brake system, weird way to plumb it, but hey besides the caliper issues the truck stops on a dime...
