    Hard Brake Air goes to defrost

    My issue is definitely fixed and you're right I should repeat the test to get any less troublesome leaks taken care of. Honestly tonight I was just glad to have my ride functional again. I figure I should wait to do anything else til I've made it through the work week.

    Hard Brake Air goes to defrost

    Made a diy smoke test and the billowing smoke from behind the engine was enough to motivate me to get serious about where the back hose goes. Wriggled, twisted, and cussed til I got the hose back on it's little metal offshoot on the back of the engine. Skinny arms can access it from under the...

So my brakes booster (06 Expedition Limited) has a check valve with three...

    Hard Brake Air goes to defrost

    It's a very loud engine, can't really hear any issues. Running and idling is not noticably worse than it was before. I'm not sure about only loss of vacuum, more those are the symptoms I've noticed. The brake pedal is hard to push down and does not do anything until it's all the way down and the...

    Hard Brake Air goes to defrost

    That hose that runs along the back is not in the best shape but with how dramatic the problem is I kind of thought I had put a hose somewhere it shouldn't go instead of it just being an older hose. Either way I'll be changing that one out tomorrow just because I'm out of ideas
