Got a problem with my M35A2 brakes. After sitting for a long while, I started getting it ready for the upcoming parades. It started great, runs great and has no brakes. The pedal went to the floor without resistance. I checked the reservoir, no fluid. Added fluid then started bleeding the system. As an aside, I only use DOT 5 in my trucks. First wheel, yellow fluid came out of the fitting with a bunch of air. Not very much came out. Not good! Why is there (presumably) DOT 3 in my system?!?! Okay, take a deep breath and try another wheel. Same thing, yellow fluid, not very much and full of air. The master cylinder fluid level did not drop. I’ve had this truck for 10 plus years and never had a broblem with my brakes.
I can only assume at this stage there’s something messed up between the reservoir/master cylinder. Can any of the M35 Gurus recommend which, where, what I should do next?
