Message: [QUOTE="yavorssj, post: 795331, member: 7819"] Ok, $700 later, the truck is now fixed. I had to replace EVERYTHING!!! All four calipers, all five brake hoses, the ABS pump, and the master cylinder. Before I continue, I want to say thanks to Travis down at MPH Enterprises in Foster(middle of nowhere) Ky. He is the guy who hooked me up with a replacement ABS unit. It was used, but it works and he sold it to me for a song... Some people were skeptical about the need to replace everything, but let me tell you, it was necessary. I took one of the new rear brake hoses off and cut it in half to inspect it's inner surface... It resembled putty more than rubber. As to the calipers... Using a scribe, I was able to push through the piston boot with minimal effort. Again, the inside of the boot was like putty. I think it would have only been a short matter of time before the entire boot turned to gel. Remember, this resulted after less than twelve hours of me pulling a stupid and flushing the (brand new) system with PS fluid... I fear the consequences for my family or myself if I had not bit the bullet and done a wholesale replacement. The caliper boots looked fine from the outside, but as I said above... One thing I also did after I had removed all the components was to spray all the hard lines with brake cleaner and dry them out with compressed air. This way I ensured there were no residual hydro-carbons of death left alive to attack my newly born stopping power... Anyway, folks, learn from my mistake ---> Then some good might come from this fiasco... [/QUOTE]
