SHIFTING - I was about to ask this question, that was just answered - now I 
get to go out and try the new shifting - BTW - how to shift is not in the 
owners manual. THANKS AGAIN Whitney!

My question.  I know I DO NOT have my breaks adjusted correctly.

Originally, I could not get a pedal no mater what I did.  If I would pump 
3-5 times than I could apply break pressure and stop.  I bleed the breaks 
4/5 times and got others to do this as well with the same results.  I 
finally adjusted the Y on the front side of the Master and now I have a 
pedal and the brake stop the truck.

I still need to think before I press the pedal since I do not have a great 
gripping force on the breaks.  If I jack up the truck three of the 4 wheels 
will have a rubbing spot against one of the pads.  Do I need to back off 
these 3 settings before the brakes will work with a great grip?

Should I be able to skid if I slam on the brakes?  I can not skid now.

Any ideas???

Thanks,
