Brake Question
Ok heres the story line.
I took out the rear end from my truck. When we put it back in we replaced the lines with new stainless & flex line. We tried bleeding them the old fashioned way pumping the peddle and closing/opening the bleeder. We could not get any fluid. Moved to a one man vaccum pump, got some fluid, maybe 1/3 of a bottle then it stopped. The system would old the Vacuum, but no more fluid would flow. Checked the master cylinder and it still had plenty of fluid. Started looking for pinched lines, pulled the connection off the flex line at the frame, same thing can pull a Vac but no fluid, found the next fitting next to the header under the cab, split the fitting, no fluid, pulled a Vac, it held no fluid. So whats the problem? Bad splitter block? Bad Master Cylinder? Anything I missed? I thought the brakes worked fine before but maybe not?
