again, thanks: As I said earlier, I didn't bench bleed the master cylinder this time, because I forgot about that. But at one time or another, with the exception of power bleeding, I've done all the things suggested above, and I still start out with lots of good hard pedal and then it goes away as I drive the truck. It's not a matter of the brakes not being quite right. In the beginning, they will be fine, and then gradually get worse and worse until there is nothing left. This time is different in that for some reason I can't get the fluid to pump out of the master cylinder. That's new. I think my next move is to put a new kit in the master cylinder. Does anyone have any suggestions where I might find one? Thanks Allen
