Re: New to the forums, new to the big truck world. Brakes?

Thank you for the advice. I tried again to bleed the line. The truck does have power brakes and it has a single chamber master cylinder. I think the booster is good considering depressing the brakes while the truck is running is significantly easier. However, the more I use the brakes while its running, it feels like I am losing all brake pressure.

Another thing I found is that the bleeding valves only trickle on the rear wheels, unlike the front two wheels which bleed like a normal vehicle would.

The last question I have is, how common is it for the master cylinder to go out? There is clearly wet spots that build up where the master cylinder meets the booster. Is this a sign of a bad master cylinder? If so, how do I go about removing it?
