I lost my face to the jaws of a poodle
Well got a good load in the pants tonight on the way back with the little butts.
In Goldie, rolling up to the stop sign at the intersection by my fire department and stepped on the brake pedal. All was good, let off and stepped on them again and almost got t-boned by an oncomming car. Bad intersection as others have bought it previous at the same place.
I didn't really step on the brakes that hard or for more than 4 seconds first time. Second time the pedal was hard as a rock and no stopping power whatsoever as engine was at an idle and trans in neutral.
Master cylinder was replaced with a new 1 1/8" roughly 20,000 miles ago and the vacuum pump was replaced at the same time by the PO. All the vacuum lines looked good and reservoir was full and all lines are dry. The RABS sensor has been separated by MI weather and has not been repaired yet but sensor light was on before and haven't had time to troubleshoot the system with Scotts info he forwarded.
I could make it happen again by the same actions but the truck would stop fine if I stood on the brakes like normal and no release. During this operation the pedal would remain constant and wouldn't fall. During the hard pedal simulation with truck running of course, the pedal would fall slightly at idle but fall a little faster when the rpms were brought up.
Is this normal operations for this particular braking system or is the need for a vacuum canister in order for more vacuum storage. I am in the process of acquiring a fiver over 30' length as a project rebuild and don't really want any issues with that or for normal driving. I really had never encountered this before so I am a bit concerned.
