Tim do you work on your truck or pay a mechanic. I'm just surprised to here that a lawyer works on his truck. Ive never seen one with grease under there nails or busted knuckles.

 

I do just about everything myself - that's kinda the whole point. It's the journey, not the destination. The only things done by someone else have been warranty work, the initial Hotchkis install, and paint/body work. I would not even think about doing an engine or tranny swap, though.

My first career was in construction. I've had more busted knuckles than I can count. AMOF, I don't consider a weekend working on the truck successful unless I have something broken or cut -- it's a badge of honor.

[QUOTE=Nonetheless, I'm having a hard time seeing that the pressure would be any different with any line size. The way that I see it, a smaller line might take a little longer to fully pressurize the rear calipers, but system equilibrium should be eventually reached. What am I missing?[/QUOTE]

It takes more fluid to pressurize a larger diameter line. The difference may be small but its enough to be noticeable.

 

Nope - Once the system is completely bled of any gasses and is fluid only, line diameter means nothing.

The amount of fluid moved into the line at the distribution block on the differential will exactly equate to the amount of fluid moved into the calipers on the other ends.

Granted, it would require a larger amount of fluid to fill the system, but the hydraulics would still work the same.

Liquids do not compress...
