The 02 Grand Cherokee got new front brakes yesterday! They look similar, but the new brakes have a better design which evens out rotor wear and reduces the risk of warpage. Of course I also pulled out the front lift plates too, so now the truck is level and handles *much* better.
Of course, we have a new problem - even after bleeding, the pedal is still extremely soft. My hope is that we just need to bleed it again, but it's also possible there's air in the ABS module. The fix for that involves a trip to the dealership so they can use a scan tool to trigger an ABS module bleed, and that's gonna be expensive. However, there is a "shade tree" fix:
Slam on the brakes while on a slick surface.
Good thing we're supposed to get 8" of snow today!
The last major issue is the transmission, and I'll start on that as soon as the brakes are done. Really need to get this Jeep finished soon, before I'm priced out of auto parts by these asinine tarriffs.
