April 26 NorCal Meetup

[Dr. Marneaus]

I THINK I am free? The wedding isn't for another 2 weeks so I will likely be able to make the trip. Maybe drag the woman along

The 26th is three weeks away?

The wedding isn't for another 2 weeks after the 26th is what I was getting at.

oh ok, I just misread it. I read it as if the wedding was after the meetup.

Assuming the brake booster cures my braking ills I will bring the Cherokee down. There's a trail up by colfax that I was looking at too. Basically a dirt road through some pretty area but a "trail" none the less.

The wedding is after the meetup. 2nd weekend in May is wedding. Last weekend in April is meetup.

Glenn you better bring the Chero.my brakes have been screwy for a year or two now and it doesn't stop me! Lol

[Renodemona]

Well the booster went in great! Unfortunately while installing it I discovered brake fluid leaking all out the back of the master. Grrrr.....
Oh well, Rock Auto had a brand new one for me so that should be here tuesday. If I get the fence done over the weekend I should have time to get the new master in next week, bleed the brakes, and presto? Maybe?

[Tatsadasayago]

You don't need no steenking brakes! You has Bumpers!

Yeah, those GM masters die from sitting alot and moisture causing rust in the bores. RockAuto=Cheap n quick fix.
Lesson I learned years ago: If the booster dies, it's usually the diaphragm weakened by brake fluid seeping in from a leaking master.
Like GI Joe says: Knowing is half the battle.

[Dr. Marneaus]

Bleeding the brakes and installing a new MC is a 20 minute process. You know how to get a Hole of me if you need a hand (or a foot in the case of brake bleeding lol)

I normally just make my woman pump the pedal

[Renodemona]

Got the new master in, will bleed the brakes tomorrow. Then track down an oil pressure sending unit. The only oil leak is from there. Not sure if teflon tape will cure it but oil actively leaks from the base of the sending unit. More than I'm willing to accept anyway...

In actual Meet-Up news, I thought if we head down to Colfax there is a nice road to drive then hit up lunch in old town:

Whattaya think?

[Tatsadasayago]

Sounds good.
Those who might be going south or west after the meet can take Hwy 49 over to Placerville. For those adventurer types, the Mosquito Ridge road is a twisty scenic route featuring narrow road and steep hillsides. It eventually comes out in Placerville as well.

[Dr. Marneaus]

No more of this maybe stuff!

His jeep drives and now it stops! Look I have proof of it both coming and going haha

[Tatsadasayago]
