So to close up, here is what I've learned. If you lose brakes on the road, it makes for a great story, it shows how knowledgeable you are now, and your in no way a danger. Caused by "part failures" perhaps better maintenance needed? and/or... If you lose brakes in your backyard, stopped...

nice...

I'm guessing no one is making a kit to do that huh lol Sounds like something to make...

Ya know when ya speak of the bible ya have to drop all the stupid stuff and just get back to work ;) As soon as I find my problem I will update on it. I have not had a chance to get at it with work, but will this week sometime.

Have you seen any dual circuit master cylinders kits? I've seen a few for other stuff but havn't found one for my m109A3... any ideas?

I could not agree with you more. I do plan to install a exhaust brake and stainless lines as I can get them custom made very cheap. Custom hoses do not cost all that much and I would see them as a safer brake system all together. From all the forums i have been on busted brake lines seem to be...

That's perfect way of doing it. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the soap box story buddy. Yes it has full insurance. Listen say what you will, did you check your brake fluid every day last week in the car you drive every day? Do you do things the way the manual says for your car you drive everyday, I BET NOT! Is your tire pressure correct? Do you...

Ok, let's go over this. I'm on flat ground. I cut fuel, I put the truck in 2nd gear, and dump the clutch and your saying that she's gonna SPEED UP? Hey, i didn't know it's a perpetual motion machine! (grins) LOL listen you have a 6 banger diesel. When that air gets compressed it eats energy...

holy**** we agree on something! I would think you should have some or the "same" feeling regardless of what the air is doing or lack of... When the air pressure comes up you have full stopping power. So no air pressure you would have weak* stopping power but same peddle feel. With Air...

Yes it's DOT5 silicone for sure.

Wow. Go read my posts. I never said engine breaking would stop you in a hill, or would even stop you quickly. I said here in houston, where it is FLAT it works, no it won't stop you on a dime, no it wouldn't stop you with a load, man your just looking for reason to bash on me because i stepped...

thanks guys, i have a plan of attack for tomorrow. I'll update tomorrow what I find.

Thank you much sir. Do you happen to have a parts list for that? Sizes, etc. So pump it up, bleed the airpack, then the brakes all around? Correct? Starting with the WC farthest from the MC

Yes sir. I will do it in that order tomorrow. But with full 110ish PSI buzzer off, just goes to the floor.

thus why it's called a "parking" brake. lol not a "oh ****" brake. As for "most respected" hey, hats off, but no one needs to act like "daddy" do we? Really? I mean really, did each one of you do a full brake inspection of the complete brake system before driving it? If you did great, how i...

I've been reading the TM and manual. On bleeding the brakes does not sound fun. The book was talking about using a device to bleed the brakes, this being my first where would I buy these tools, or is there a shade tree way of doing it? I have a ok understanding of the brake system now looking...

If your blowing lines, get some steel braided lines. Just get some custom ones made. Go read the posts, to sound like we are in the school yard. You started it. I have no doubt you know these trucks. Granted I don't know them like the back of my hand yet, give me a few months. I'm a very quick...

I kind of figured I'd run into a few like you guys on a site like this. compression braking has nothing to do with vacuum. LOL it's using the compression of the engine, you know when you quit adding fuel it's still making compression on all 6. Hills sure your out of luck, 15,000 - 20,000 LBS...

Gotta say thanks again. I really was not thinking anyone would reply so quickly... Maybe I'll stick around a little more.
