1995 Ford Ranger / 150K miles / 4-cylinder engine
I am having problems with my brakes. One day last wknd, my brakes just wouldn't work. My master cylinder reservoir was empty, and I added brake fluid and bled the brakes only to find that the rear drum brake cylinder was leaking. I replaced the cylinder, no more leak. Only when I bled the brakes again...I was still having problems. The only way I could stop was if I pumped the brake first while driving. If I waited a couple seconds, it just went to the floor again. So I have no pressure. I went ahead and replaced the master cylinder, thinking that was the problem, only to find that wasn't the problem...so now I am here. I have no idea what to do. I checked all the lines, and there are no visible leaks. Somehow I need to fix this, as my truck is all I have. Please someone help me.
