What a pain in the rear this truck has been. Original complaint: Stand on the brakes with little to no stopping power. I performed complete brake overhaul. New master cylinder, wheel cylinders, shoes, seals, turned drums. Brakes were a little better after but still having to stand on the pedal. If carrying a load (4000lbs) no brakes at all. I originally put brake fluid in the master cylinder and bled the brakes. Then I found that somehow the hydraulic tank supplies hydraulic fluid to the master cylinder?? I am not familiar with this set up so I am looking for some help here. I pulled the hose that supplies hyd fluid to the master cylinder. While running, I just get a trickle of hyd fluid coming out. Should there be more pressure? Could there be a problem with the inching valve/master cylinder? Will it hurt to have hydraulic fluid pushing against the brake fluid? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
