Hi All Need a Bit Of Help
First Off Hello Everyone !!
I am now a member of 3 of these boards about FORD Diesels. I have learned much more than i ever need to now and now I have worries i never had about the truck I bought. I will endure tho as I know Diesel is the only way to go even with the prices of it as of late.
Anyways I Do hav e aproblem and not sure what next step is.
Brake Petal Fade :
Components Replaced So far....
Master Cyl.
Front Calipers
Rear Cylinders
Rear Shoes
New Parking Brake cables
Ok. now I bled the hell outa this system and it still fades away. truck stops but when sitting it fades towards the floor..
I have read it could be the RABS Valve and Also could be the Vacume Pump.
So I propose the question which is most likely answer I don't think i can have any air in the lines i have ran over a gallon of fluid thu the system in various manners : Vaccume bleed, good ole manual bleed, and tube in bottle of fluid bleed etc.
truck has 135k on the odometer and i don't think the PO took very good care of it but it didn't have any rust and it is the size of truck I needed so I bought it. I don't mind spending money to fix it I just don't want to toss parts at it.
one more thign anyone know what the normal operatiig temp is i only have idiot guage not real temp guage..
thanks guys
Dave
