I am hoping that the older and wiser heads here can help me with a problem. Mid to late 1986 M998, has had a couple of the MWO upgrades done but still has the original engine and transmission, less than 10k on the odometer, full military configuration.
It hasn't been driven much as we initially thought the parking brake was stuck, after fixing a number of light issues related to bad grounds I now find that the brake lights are on all of the time, the pedal is almost to the floor and will move less than an inch, I have tried pulling the pedal back by hand with no luck. I am thinking either the Hydrobooster or the master cylinder, before I start tearing the brake system apart and perhaps spending money needlessly I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have been trough the manuals available on this site and know how to replace the parts but don't know which parts to replace, I would like to avoid tearing the system apart and then have to wait for parts to arrive. As best as I can determine the vehicle sat outside with the canvas up and hood closed for several months to a year, it started with just a little shot of starter fluid on the first start up and hasn't caused any problems starting since.
Thanks,
