    Fuel gauge pegged

    Ok , so I did some testing today. I swapped gauges, no change. If I short the fuel sender plug it makes the gauge go to empty. I ohm tested the sender while it was unplugged and nothing happened on the meter. Bad sender?

    Soft brake pedal

    I hooked my vacuum pump up to a spare cap and couldn't pull a vacuum on it. Thought it might be leaking from the lid so I hot glued the crap out of the cap and reservoir to make a good seal and still couldn't pull a vacuum .... I will try gravity bleeding them.

    Soft brake pedal

    I'm thinking it was a close out sale , no returns kinda thing. But thank you.

    Soft brake pedal

    Turns out I got it at rockauto so can't really exchange it. But if it was the master wouldn't the pedal bleed straight to the floor? Mine doesn't completely bleed out, it's just really soft.

    Fuel gauge pegged

    I'm an idiot when it comes to electrical lol. How would I go about doing that? EDIT: I screwed around with it for a minute and figured out how to do it. Lol

    Fuel gauge pegged

    I checked out the connections at the tanks and fsv. I traced the wires from the fsv, didn't see any breaks in the wires. Could it be the gauge itself?

    Ya just a cheap-o AutoZone master. I'll see if I can find the receipt so I can exchange it. It's definitely not leaking anywhere. I' also going to hook my vacuum pump up to the master cap and see if it pulls any more air out.

    Soft brake pedal

    Years ago I spent days trying to bleed the brakes on my old ford . Turned out that I had switched the calipers and the bleeders were facing down , which allowed an air pocket to not bleed out. Ever since then I check the bleeders lol.

    Soft brake pedal

    Hmm , maybe drill a hole in a spare cap , put a nipple in it and hook the vacuum bleeder up ? Would that work?

    Soft brake pedal

    Well I did do it once with my vacuum bleeder , then tried the good old pumping and holding. Didn't make a difference .

    Soft brake pedal

    I was on the rear left wheel when the brake pedal started firming up. When I switched to the front right bleeder the pedal got soft again and never firmed back up.

    Soft brake pedal

    When I first put it on the pedal started to get hard then went back to soft after I switched to another bleeder. Figured it was air , but maybe the master failed internally?

    Yep , bench bleed and bleed on the truck .

    Fuel gauge pegged

    The fsv seems to work , when I switch tanks the gauge reacts , but they are both pegged past full. Any ideas before I drop the tanks?

    Soft brake pedal

    Ya , thats what i meant lol. I bleed the bleeder on the rabs but didnt pull the piston out first , like everyone seems to do.

    Soft brake pedal

    Just bleed everything again , including the rabs. Still soft. I didnt remove the hex plug on the rabs , couldn't get a wrench on it. Think that's my issue? Only other thing I can think of is the new master is bad. Guess I'll exchange it and swap it out.

    Soft brake pedal

    Yep , adjusted rears. They were a little tight if anything. Abs light is on , fluid isn't low.

    Soft brake pedal

    Man I cannot get these brakes to firm up. Every bleed point has a solid stream of fluid , zero air. But it just won't firm up. New master cylinder.. Any ideas?

    Oil filter

    I always tighten until the rubber seal makes contact , then tighten an extra 3/4 turn. I rarely have leaks but when I do another 1/4 turn does the trick.

    Glow Plug Test?

    I pull them out and hook them up to jumper cables. :D

    Does this trailer look funky?

    I don't care how ugly it is as long as it tows straight and is safe :D

    Does this trailer look funky?

    I'm not sure on the wheel size , but he said it has new brakes on 2 of the axles . It also has permanent plates . Thanks for the info guys . I'm definitely going to hold out for a factory built trailer.

    It's in Selma. I'm in the Applegate area. He said he used it for a portable saw mill.
