whats up guys? i cant seem to wrap my head around this. on my way to work one day, had to it the brakes hard. felt what seemed to be a pop, and my brake pedal basically went to the floor. got the truck parked, and it seemed like the brakes would work for a minute, than go away? i thought i blew the master cylinder. just noticed that the rear bank on the reservoir was very low. topped it off. is it possible that i sucked a bunch of air into the system since it was so low? pumped the brakes real good, and pedal got nice and firm. no leaks anywhere, and did this twice to be sure. someone suggested that maybe its the abs module. so i just went to unplug the abs module fuse in the under hood panel, only to find out, it has already been pulled by previous owner. and yes the abs light has been on since ive owned the truck. the pedal will stay nice and firm as long as the truck isnt running. seems like once i start it though, it obviously gets softer, but it seems too soft. can almost get it to the floor. even when running though, pumping the brakes seems to help build pressure. i had figured the abs module sounds reasonable since the light is on, and pedal sinks when truck is running, but as stated, fuse was already removed. and i figure if it was the master cylinder, pedal would be soft whether the truck was on or off right? can someone please help me figure out what the hell is going on here? lol thaks in advance.
