| Description of the problem | I depressed brake pedal to start truck. Once truck started the pedal went all the way to the floor and the brake warning light on the dash illuminated. Tried moving the truck a couple feet to see if i had brakes, and the truck did not stop when the pedal was depressed. Used the emergency brake to stop. Checked the master cylinder, it was empty. I added about 10 oz. Of brake fluid, pumped up the brakes and it worked. Drove about 8 minutes to work, brakes ok. I returned to the truck after work, about 10 hours and the pedal went to the floor again and no brakes. I filled master cylinder again and was able to drive home. I drove very slowly and carefully because i expected to brakes to fail at any time. I live 5 miles from work. If it was any more i would have had the truck towed. I will have it towed to the dealer in the morning. |
