He has brake pedal when the truck isn't running but as soon as it's started, the pedal drops to the floor. Any suggestions? Still air in the system possibly?Thanks, Brian | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | sounds like a booster problem but I'm not an expert. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy briank, your header says "no brakes", and you say the pedal drops to the floor when you start the engine. Can you move the truck with the engine running, or are the brakes locked up when the engine is running? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 118 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 118 | I'll have to ask him to make sure but I do not believe they are locked and it will roll. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy briank, it is normal for the brake pedal to go closer to the floor when the engine is started, it is one of the checks we perform to check the booster. Are the brakes adjusted up properly? | | |
