Now getting 11 volts but I'm not completely satisfied with braking. Seem a bit wek to me. Is there something I'm missing. The old brakes worked 100x better.
Thanks in advance for any response

I have an 02 FW and I just replaced all 4 of mine earlier this month with Dexter never adjust. The paperwork (yes I’m anal and not a mechanic that has done it a lot so I read them.lol) says to burnish them in you need to apply brakes 20-30 times from a speed of 40mph slowing to 20mph each time letting them cool adequately during the process. While I got them on due to diesel prices, I didn’t go for a joy ride to burnish them in yet, plan to do it next month on our next getaway.
