ive been looking for several hours on line and not finding any real answers for my problem, so ill take a shot here; heres the deal i recently bought a 1988 gmc 1500 extended cab 4x4 , 90,000 from new, the guy i bought it from just got too old to drive, the truck has had a easy life this weekend the brakes went soft on it, it was classic bad master cylinder symptoms, truck will stop sort of, once stopped, keeping pressure on the brake pedal sends it almost to the floor, been there done that a hundred times,in my life, on older stuff so, i put a new master cylinder on today, after making sure to bench bleed it until no air was present, i installed it on the truck and bled it a few times to make sure air didn't enter when i had the lines off, now i have the exact same problem i had to begin with! no lites on and the abs and brake lites do work with the key in the on position engine not running, i carefully checked over the entire truck, no leaks, no damage to any brake component, no air in the master cylinder, last week i drove this truck every day and it did not do this at all, any ideas here ? just cant see how something can do this and not see some kind of a clue, or how it can act like a bad master cylinder and not be that currently using my winch truck to go to work this gets 6 mpg! but its funny how these old dinosaurs are always in running condition when the newer stuff breaks down frequently
