The front passenger side brake line blew the other night on my way home.

My son replaced the line with new, now we can't get the friggin pedal to stop going to the floor and the master cylinder has a drip between it & the booster weird noises when pumping the pedal wooshing like sound? http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif

Bleed the brakes for about a hour, me & my son, went through almost a full quart of fluid, the pedal seems fine until I start the truck then it goes down way further then it ever did before & when pumping the brakes listening to the master sounds like it pushing air or gurgling weird.

I'm worried that changing out the master next will not fix it then what???

Could be the master considering that's exactly what happens when the master goes. Hmm maybe there's air somewhere else in the system....

Probably the master. When you bled the system after replacing the line you probably blew the seals in the master. You might have built up more pressure than your system had been seeing before.

If the master went empty you have to bleed it from there before you move to the wheels. Bleeding from the wheels won't get air out of the master.

We got it, 1st we bled both the master cylinder inlets into the ABS, 2nd we bled all three of the ABS outlets & 3rd we bled the RR, LR, RF & LF 3 times each.

Thanks for the replies, it got late last night & we were both cold & tired.

Much better luck today with it...Thanks again All 69
