That's pretty typical for what we see up here after about 5years on our roadways. I'm sure you guys use Salt on your roads down there in the winter right? It is not uncommon for us to see 3-4 year old cars with wheel bearings like that, sometimes we spend more time cleaning the knuckle/housing up than we do knocking the bearing out. Ohio salts the road excessively and that's why everything in about 10 year is almost swiss cheese underneath. |

They don't use salt anymore, they spray something on the roads now, I think it's worse than salt. As far as whether that is typical I don't know, but I can tell you my 2002 Grand Cherokee with 180k on it only has a fraction of the rust that truck has on it.
Anyway, I got the other side done, it was just as bad, but at least that horrendous noise is gone. It's like a brand new truck now. |

This ****ing truck. Been losing brake pedal pressure lately, almost going to the floor. No obvious leaks anywhere up front or anywhere else, so I assume a wheel cylinder shit the bed in the back. Wrestled both the drums off yesterday and....everything is dry.
So I'm assuming master cylinder going bad...? Seems unusual as in I've hardly ever replaced a master cylinder in anything and they don't seem like they fail very often and it's not like the truck is that old. It does have ABS so there's a bunch extra gizmos on it I know nothing about. Help? |

sounds like either a master cylinder or abs pump bypassing, you dont have a loose wheel bearing again do you?

wheel bearings are still good I think. Why would that affect the brakes anyway? It didn't before.

IIRC, it was ran in salt? It could have damaged the cylinder. On our hydraulic shit, if the rod can get corroded or rusty and hack up the seal when it cycles then it will bypass. That leaks out, but if the barrell is pitted, it can damage the seal on the piston and bypass. Or it could be the pump. I have no idea, I've never seen those on newer brakes, but on our junky ass tandem gas trucks that we never use the master cylinder goes out every ****ing year. We had a Chevy that had a wheel bearing go out and it damaged the ABS sensor. It was a ****ing one who sucks the penis to figure out and we had to take it to a mechanic better than us. |

As far as the wheel bearings, I replaced the hubs a while back, they weren't loose just noisy as hell. I'm guessing that was SAUTO ****ing with me on that one. |

Well this one has 1/3 the mileage and is 1/3 the age. I don't recall the last time I had a master cylinder go bad, if I ever have at all. Which is kinda surprising with the parade of junkers I've owned over the years.
