It took me a few hours to get mine bench bled completely. (Actually all night, but I was watching tv, eating, using bathroom, and taking breaks. Lots of breaks.)

Which bleeding method did you use??
I was reading somewhere that when you bled these brakes, you NEVER pump them. Just push down, bled, release and repeat.

I don't remember what the reasoning was though.

Anyone?

Have you tried bleeding the master on the truck at the lines?

Have someone pump the brakes 2 or 3 times, hold the pedal down.loosen the lines on the master.wiggle the line if needed.tighten it back up.do the same with the second line.now go around and bleed each wheel again


This usually works on systems that wanna fight

I had that on the 93. I ended up submerging it to get it right. That was after running about 3 gallons of fluid through the system.

Could also try gravity bleeding it.leave the cap off the master, open one bleeder at a time, just let the fluid run for a couple minutes.close it, move to the next wheel.

It seems like i have plenty of fluid out of the bleeders there is just no pedal. I dont see any leaks anywhere. I am starting to think that my new master is junk. It wouldnt be the first time i have gotten bad parts from OReally's When i push the pedal is half ass gets stiff for a second then goes to the floor. I have also been doing most of the bleeding with the engine off. Should i have it running to see if having vaccum helps

Ya I'd agree with U on this sounds like questionable MC to me...bypassing fluid internally ...

IMHO, best to get FORD parts when u can....

I hate that we get such cheapanese parts these days with so may returns...it's ridiculous....absolutely ridiculous.
