Re: Too much travel before brake booster kicks in?

The pedal is coming up eventually, but with no brake pressure it's pretty slow. I didn't take the m/c off the truck to bench bleed it, just disconnected the steel lines and cycled fluid around using the truck pedal. It worked fine when I wasn't asking it for any pressure, nice big healthy squirts of fluid every time you depress the pedal, and after that when I hooked up the steel lines again I had great brake pressure for one good pump. After that it had less pressure each time I tried pumping them up to bleed until finally it was back to none (and I do mean none).

A rebuilt m/c was only $28 at my local parts place. At that price I'm just gonna replace it. I can get some help from my buddy again on Saturday and the weather should be nice. We'll see what happens...
