Default Out of Ideas...(Brakes)

So... over the past few weeks i have been dealing with my XJ having NO stopping power.

Here is what has been replaced:

-Master Cylinder
-Booster
-Proporting Valve/rail
-Rear wheel Cylinders
-Calipers
-Soft Lines
-pads/shoes
-Bleed (ALOT)

I am confused and what else i would need to do to get some stopping power back. I have the pedal to the floor and i still go... Ive looked online and have tryed everything posted, with the excption of getting a 96 Jeep Double Diaphram Booster....

Anyone have ANY ideas to get some brakes back?! I even tryed flat out kicking her! And NOTHING.... Im at the end of what else to do....


Any Ideas?

Did you replace the brake fluid after you bleed the system? Did you work out all of the air in the system? (I'm not asking this to sound like a jerk, or make it sound like you don't know what you're doing) Go back to the basics and see if the basic things are taken care of. Good luck and keep us posted!

Yep have gone through all of about 3 bottles of fluid from all the tings that have been going on and the amount of bleedings. and i believe i have all the air out....

Man I don't know....How recent are the repairs? Have those items been replaced trying to figure this problem out? Good luck.

Did you bench bleed the new master cylinder before you installed it? Other than that I would double check everything starting with the brake pedal and go through all the lines down to the wheels. Also make sure fluid will run freely through all the lines.
