    same-same...

    Ask them "what's the point of having S-S lines being fed in the rear by a rubber line???"
    Kind of defeats the purpose.

    I would, but they are not replying to my questions (maybe the last one, "So are you saying that you are knowingly selling an incomplete kit for the VehiCROSS, or are you saying that you just don't know what size connectors to use on the VehiCROSS, for which you sell a kit?" might have turned them off of me and my sweet charms...). If I could just get the right line out of them, I'd install it separately, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

    I would imagine there will be a notable improvement in pedal feel even with one of the rubber lines in place - the stretch factor will still be reduced by about 80% or so.

    Oh well - now we know... avoid Silverstone Modifications!

    Hah! I was thinking about that situation when I posted. Some people come across better in writing, some better in person.

    Anyone who's spent time on web forums should be familiar with this phenomenon. Heck, anyone who has gotten into a tiff with someone via email or txt messaging should know about this!

    Tone is what imparts meaning to humans. Typing has no tone - so readers fill the void for themselves...


    Getting back on-topic... I got the VX back last night, and the brakes feel great! The pedal is a lot firmer (I think replacing the fluid actually improved the braking performance) and it's all smooth again. Happy day! They came in under "book time" for the work, too. I think I like my Isuzu dealer better now that they are not an Isuzu dealer anymore! The service writer told me that their Isuzu tech Joe loves the VX and makes a point of showing it to everyone there. He especially likes mine because of the super-charger, apparently.

    This is just about a perfect situation for me - I take TWO cars to a dealership that has a skilled and experienced Isuzu mechanic that loves my truck and will now install any part I ask them to, and on the cheap, too. I hope it lasts!!
