whats next?
 

okay was going down the road today and well went to stop and the brake pedel went to the floor sweared to miss stoped cars and ended up takeing out some signs not damage to the truck thank god police didn't give me a ticket or anything thankfully picked up a new master cylider from advance auto for 15 buxs will install in the morning and hope that fixees my problems don't see any leaks under the truck or wheelcyliders leaking so i think my mc went bad

Make sure you check the rubber line that goes from the frame to the rear diff's hardline connection. Mine burst a few months ago (in the garage while I was test-pumping the brakes to check my taillights thank god). The rubber will dry-rot and crack over time. I had identical symptom as you only I was parked.

Re: whats next?
 

Yeah I would definately check the rear brake line had one burst on my truck.Luckly I have hydra-boost brakes(next best thing to air brakes)so it still stopped using the front brakes.Its a 14 dollar part so i would check it and if there is any sign of dameage replace it.

Re: whats next?
 

you took out signs without damage to the truck? wooden garage sale signs? i'd be real sorry if you were to lose your nice truck so get-r-fixed asap.

Re: whats next?
 

if the back brake line bursted wouldn't i still have front brakes? 2 different cyliders in the mc right? because i have no brakes at all and the fuild is still in the master cylider not worried about the time figure i' not driveing it till it is fixed got got another truck to drive lol

Re: whats next?
 

That would definetly make me suspect the MC. Glad you and the truck survived.

Re: whats next?
 

The pedal still went to the floor when it happened to me. :confused:

Hmmm, maybe time to do a visual on my brake lines.....

Re: whats next?
 

If your asking: what's next, how do I check my brakes? Change the MS, pull the rear wheels, inspect the shoes and drums, look for wear. Look at the wheel cylinders to see if the rubber on the edges looks dry rotted. On the disks, look at the rotors for sings of wear/gouging. Check the front brake hose for dry rotting/cracks, if there are ANY replace IMMEDIATELY, trust me, just do it. Look at all of the brake lines and inspect for rust, especially where they connect, they tend to rust at the back edge on the line where the bolt thingy is.

If your asking: what's going to break next on this POS, remember your truck is 35 years old, stuff breaks. Stuff also breaks on new cars too, but it costs 10 times more to fix it and you need 10 grand in computer equipment just to figure out what's wrong with the dang thing.
