    Brake issues....

    You can clearly hear mine vent the air. But if your air pack isn't providing brake boost you will know.

    I think rustystud has a hard copy of the short ap tm. Paging rustystud. You have a call on line 1.

    There's a plunger under that triangular cover. I remember someone posted that they put it in backwards and that caused the air pack to act up. God I'm trying to remember what thread that was.

    There isn't a plug on the short style.

    When you push the brake pedal and let go do you hear a loud hiss?

    Those are the exact symptoms my truck had when I got it. Most likely an air pack issue. Mine was rusted up solid. I know you just rebuilt yours.

    That doesn't matter. Trust me.

    When you say you have no brakes you mean? Tell us the specific symptoms. Even things that may not seem like they matter.

    So have you checked your wheel cylinders? Did you bleed in the correct order? Was your rebuild kit for a short style air pack? The short and long style rebuild kits are NOT interchangeable.

    Bench bleeding won't help you. Does the fluid level drop? Have you inspected each wheel cylinder? Have you adjusted the shoes at each wheel? When you bled the brakes did you bleed the airpack first?

    Are you bleeding in the correct order?

    Ya that could be another issue. Especially after 6000 miles.

    Like I said, if brake fluid isn't bypassing the piston in the MC then it more than likely isn't the problem. If it is, then it needs to be addressed.

    If you have a firm pedal and no brake boost your air pack is bad. Before you pull the master cylinder pull the rubber boot back on it. If there is no brake fluid behind that boot then the MC is ok. If there is brake fluid it needs rebuilt or replaced.
