When I got in the shop to start working on the truck, I said... Lets give it one more try.. So I started to bleed the driver side... BUBBLES!! This was weird as last night there was nothing. Well, I also found a line leak from when I replaced the lines last night. Tighten that connection and continued to bleed whole system. The good news is, its now bleeding. The bad news... I have used a quart of fluid already and I am still getting air. I have checked every connection, all are tight with no leaks. All rubber hoses have been replaced. Bleeder valves all replaced. Brakes are good to a point I can't more the truck when brakes applied, but when driving it, its very very slow to stop. To me this sounds like I just need to keep at it, but..... Is it normal to use a quart + of fluid bleeding a system??? Also, why did leaving the system overnight, suddenly make it work?? Very strange. 1950 Chevy 3100 Blog w/Pics - http://txchevy50.blogspot.com/ Goal: Clean, Rebuild, Paint, & Drive on a budget. Major restore of components will be done over time.
