I've sinced replaced the master cylinder(which was bench bled first), hydroboost power brake system, the brake line going to the pass. front brakes and the caliper on the same wheel. The truck does have ABS brakes on it. I have tried bleeding the brakes several times and I can not get a firm pedal. The pedal sinks to the floor if pressure is kept on it. thanks for reading and again thanks for any advice.

First, you have ABS which requires an electronic bleed with a professional scan tool to get all the air out of the ABS system. second, the design of these systems are very deceiving when is comes to recognizing a good pedal. You will find that even when the system is fully bled, the pedal will seem spongy when pushing hard on it from a parked position, however you will find that when the truck is moving it will not require anywhere near that amount of pedal pressure to stop the vehicle. On another note, you should always replace brake parts in pairs, not just one side. You also need to make sure all the caliper slide are free and working properly. One last note, make sure you have the correct caliper for that side of the truck. Make sure the bleeder screw is higher than the feed line. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

They start around $5,000 and can go as high a $100,000. You don't need more than one though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
