Mechanics/SAUTO I need some advice

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.

No lights on yet, which is surprising since the pedal seems like it's going almost all the way to the floor. I'm going to replace the wheel cylinders on the rear since I have it tore apart anyway and they usually are what takes out the rear brakes. Thing does have over 100k on it now so they're probably due to take a shit.

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.

Yeah, I'm no brake guy but the wheel bearing thing just happened to us this summer. It wasn't the same symptoms, but that ABS shit can do weird shit. And that sensor (on Chevys) are CRAMMED in there.

Wouldn't hurt to give it a spin while its up.

actually I was serious, and ****ing with you a little, but I've seen a new bearing do that before when a guy didn't get it torqued right at home ... wobbles and pushes the piston in and it's like your pumping the brakes after replacement to get them towork
