They filled up pretty fast actually, I realized with the pistons completely depressed there is not much void space inside the calipers. About two full pedal pushes got the calipers filled and 3 more got the last of the air out of the system.
As far as jolty I'm referring to the pedal so I'm assuming it's the ABS but I've never actually braked that hard before so I don't know if it's normal. She brakes damn hard thoough! Lol I think I need bigger meats though! Anyways, I'm gonna go jack the truck up again today and see which calipers are sticking...

With the help of a friend I had just made some adjustments to my tune and went out to get a few logs and to go WOT for the first time and I thought it felt week and when I slowed back down it was backfiring pretty badly! So I log the drive back home backfiring all the way and when I got home I looked at the logs and my timing graph was as spikey as O2 sensors graph usually are. At part throttle I was seeing negative timing!! So first guess is that I have some loose coil pack wires. Was also suggested to make sure that one of my O2 plugs didn't work itself loose. I'll take a look at it tomorrow when I get home from the port. I might of lost one whole bank and was driving around with an inline 4!! Woohoo.

Right now I think it's fun but when it comes time for me to actually NEED my truck then it's gonna suck! I like working on it when I'm not pressed for time. I just wish I had as nice of a shop as u to work on my truck!
Hopefully it's nothing major

I said a prayer for your truck last night. Now get it together Julien, no excuses, we're lining up on the 10th.
