4 WHEEL PARTS Teraflex Big Delta Brakes Nightmare.

[JeepOfTheseus]

That's why I do all my own works
I don't know why you have all these problems put the Teraflex Delta brake are a super great brake upgrade
1. On the wrangler in order to do an ABS bleed with a scanner you will need a 12/8 gateway bypass cable
2. When I installed my Delta brakes over 1.5 years ago I did have one problem
On the caliper surface where the hose and copper gasket set the machine surface was full of machine marks making it impossible to get a good seal and brake fluid would seep out (see picture)
I took a small fine flat stone and removed all the machine marks and then finished with 600 sand paper ( no more leaks )
I sent pictures to Teraflex and don't know if they have addressed this issue
The Delta brake was a great choice and if they get it right you will smile every time you put your foot on the brakes
3. If you have the jeep mushy brake syndrome you will need to do an ABS bleed with a scanner and 12/8 cable to remove the air in the ABS system. Doing a traditional bleed or power bleed will not remove the air from the ABS system

I didn't have this exact problem, but one of my bleed valve holes had some slight damage which made initial threading difficult/scary. AFAIK it's not leaking, but I swear it gets mushier over time. That said, I recently re-bled the entire system after installing new axle shafts, and it felt like one of the best bleeds I've done - 2 reps of 3 presses/holds at each corner (from far to near). My next task is to do a proper ABS bleed, and I'm hoping that helps even further.

Does anyone know are these BBK kit compatible with AEV wheels, especially the Borah?

Jeeps are so easy to work on. Get a set of wrenches, sockets, and a decent torque wrench.

the money you spent on labor could turn into a ton of other upgrades.

plus it’s quite fun and rewarding to drive what you built.

update on my little Nightmare Situation.

pick up my jeep yesterday , manager tells me they did every possible thing they can do even bringing in MOPAR Techs ( lol ) sure ,,
anyways.,

NO MORE ABS ERROR LIGHT , but THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROLLER ERROR still there
limiting the speed of my jeep to about 55mph or sometimes 45mph JEEP brakes pretty good now so I guess the BRAKES are fixed .

Jeep is my daily driver so I need to jump in the freeway to get my job done , long story short I kind of found a way to reach 65mph basically I gotta let go of the gas pedal (like shifting with it) and kind of works.... pain in the ass going up hill since Im only reaching 50 to 55mph

it sucks but I basically have no choice for now , as for 4 WHEEL PARTS they reimburse me the Alignment $45 lol its ok they just lost a customer will never deal with them ever again.

any ideas or tips in how to fix the ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROLLER ERROR >>??? any help
will be appreciated thanks ,

I will be honest with you and say I do not think there is a guaranteed one shot magic bullet fix for this error code and needs to be professionally troubleshot.

At a minimum, you could do a visual inspection of the throttle body to ensure all hookups are there and seated properly. Maybe take the intake tube off and insure the throttle body is closing all the way and no mechanical impairment on the butterfly.

Beyond that, you will need some higher level diagnostic tools that can check for expected, commanded and actual throttle positing values. You could shotgun a new throttle body/controller, but it will probably need a relearn procedure done to it also.

I probably did the same Google Foo searching on this as you. I came across a few threads for the same issue on the Wrangler JL side and fixes were all over the place and then, those that took it to a dealer sometimes had to go back because the dealers first attempt at it failed.

My odd 4WP story is I bought my AWE Trail for the Gladiator thru them to save on shipping costs. Went to pick it up and the manager insisted on loading it into my vehicle. I drove the wifes 4Runner that day. When he saw it was a 4Runner he told me the exhaust wouldn't fit on my truck, lol.

He actually said he couldn't give me the exhaust because I ordered it for the wrong vehicle. I had to show him a picture of my JT on my phone.

Couldn't help but laugh it off.

I know the PowerBrake system will not (I run Methods). I'm not sure if it's because of the size of the caliper and bracket or the fact that the rotor is large both in diameter and thickness. Or a combo of all of the above. They have a list of wheels that work with the system.
