| Description of the problem | Came to a stop sign and everything worked, at the next stop sign it was as if someone flipped a switch (residential area with many intersections). My brake pedal would sink to the floor and could barely stop the truck. However if slamming the brakes the abs would function and stop the truck as expected. Inspected brake system and fluid level was above minimum in the reservoir and found no external leaking of brake fluid (failure was internal to the master cylinder). Towed back home and isolated master cylinder and found it to be the issue. Replaced master cylinder and brakes function properly again. (when i removed the master the boosted still held vacuum and fluid was not leaking into booster. ) |
