Help troubleshooting brake issue
I'm trying to get my 72 Blazer road worthy for the trip home on Friday. The brakes don't seem to feel like other trucks with power brakes.
WHen I apply the brakes the pedal travels half way down and seems to apply maybe half or so of the overall brake pressure. Then even if I STAND on the brake pedal it doesn't seem to move much or apply much more brake force. I tried removing the vacuum line from the booster, plugging it and driving/applying the brakes. The function was similar but seemed to have to push even harder on the pedal. I then hooked a different hose to the booster and applied a vacuum with my mouth and it seemed to hold the vacuum. SO I reconnected the vacuum line. I've also bled all the brakes and flushed with new fluid. Could this be a bad booster, or an issue with the prop valve? Help!
