I"m back yet again with more problems with this truck. It a 1997 gmc sierra that blew a rusty brake line and now I can"t get it to bleed correctly. It will stop the way it is but the pedal almost goes all the way down. Before the line blew the pedal had very little movement and was very responsive. I would like to get it back to being that way but have read that it needs to be hooked to a scan tool to open the ABS to bleed the air out of there but have also read that that doesn"t always work. To bleed it I cracked the lines at MC, then input into ABS. then output, then rr and lr. Is it possible to just get the abs out of the way of the rear brakes. Unhook the rear brake lines and hook them together, plug the ABS and pull the fuse, so as to still have the front routed through there for simplicity. There is really no need for the ABS as I"ve had more close calls with it than with Safari van without it. Obvoiusly I"m cheap and don"t want to pay to have the tool hooked to it. I"m not so much asking if it"s recommeded, but whether it would affect braking performance other than there being no ABS. Will it damage the abs unit to not be in use if no dirt can get in? Or am I missing somewhere air is/can be trapped.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
