Michael Jennings: I have had my 1969 270, M375 for 14yrs now, when I first got BD & drove back from Tennessee the pedal would go down about 3/4 before they worked, one more pump & would stop on a dime.. When I got BD we need to do a mechanical safety check to register a vehicle here in Canada, We did replace 2 w/cyl. & rebuilt 2 w/cyl. bleed & adjusted all 4 wheels. They where still the same first pump then second pump to stop. I checked with some Dodge shops & was told that they had what they called a coaster brake first pump slowed it & second pump stopped it !?! I used it for a number of yrs & had two shops bleed & adjust the brakes, with same result (second shop was a near accident after pickup) I tried a new shop OLDER mech. did a tier down, found adjusters seized (last shop did not find this ????) when I picked up BD the first time I applied the brakes 1/2 pedal first pump, I'm glad I had my seatbelt on as it stood on his nose !!! I when back into shop to say something was wrong , when the mech. talked to me about the adjusters. I now do a check & adjustment every 2 yrs (last shop) with no problems.
