That would have been my answer on post 7
if post 6 had that picture . Post 6 and the picture at post 907 was what gave me what I needed to see the problem.
So like Auroragirl you also can't understand written English? You guys need pictures?

Absolutely,I read in post 6 that you had the fronts routed to the rear port on the master. You didn't say the rear port is the small reservoir,and all masters are not the same. As soon I saw your pic and read post 6 the problem was evident. Evidently you can read,heck you could even look at all the parts,you couldn't solve your own problem. I only needed 1 Pic,and post 6. Thanks, you ever hear the saying a picture is worth a thousand words? Go count all your words after post 6 until you posted that picture. That picture solved it for me without 1 more word from you necessary. Just think,you could have saved 4 pages of posts and already had your truck fixed by now.

I had a boss once that wanted the picture - and the thousand words.

Good grief. If he ever wrote a book the whole thing would have been on the title page.

LOL! Brake clean. Raybestos
Hey just checking. :)
I've seen more than one set of brake shoes ruined with new drums being installed before removing the cosmoline. It certainly makes the brakes lock up way early... ;)

Yup, contaminated brake shoes are not what the doctor ordered.

Pics add so much more context that most people lack the skill to describe with just words as most people are not authors.

glad you got your issue solved.
And cell phones make it so much easier nowadays. Three best tools ever are forums like this, YouTube and phone cameras! I could have used these back 50 years ago when I got my first car, would have saved me from so many headaches.
