Time to move the 46 1.5 ton from my old residence. The landlord decided to double our rent December 1st of '04, or we had to be out by the 31st. Needless to say we had a great Christmas and New Years. I had taken so much apart on the big fella and it was so darn cold here that there was just no way to move her until Spring. We went over to try to get her running today, and no brakes at all. When I bought it a year ago, I drove it home down from the mountains and the brakes worked great, but the owner mentioned that the master had to be topped off every so often.
Well, dummy me of course neglected that and now the peddle goes to the floor. I really need some advice because the truck has to be gone in 3 weeks and is parked on an incline( in gear with the parking brake locked back good).
Please understand brakes are something I really want to learn about, and I will rebuild them properly, but right now I know nothing, I mean nothing about them. The only thing I've ever done is relace pads on new cars a few times...no bleeding or anything. And I've got to move the truck before our written agreement expires.
So wise gentlemen, how do I get them to work enough to drive said truck five miles in Denver to our house? Please, any advice is welcome, but please explain things explicitly. I'm kinda hoping I can just add fluid and bleed them, but how do you bleed brakes? On a big truck?
Thanks in advance, I sure appreciate any help I can get!
