My brake pedal when I have the clutch engaged just goes to the floor and doesnt grab at all until it hits the floor. But if I dont have the clutch engaged the brake pedal will work and grab right away and than go to the floor? Are the break and clutch some how together on this truck or am I just losing my mind? What should I try

The clutch and brake are not related-If you're not leaking thru the lines, calipers and wheel cylinders and you're positively sure there's no air in the system-Replace the brake M/C-

Yeah, I got no leaks anywhere. Bleed them out and didnt have any air coming out. I have only had the truck for about 2 weeks and it looks like it is a new brake m/c- Is there anyway to check that or just get a new one and cross my fingers?

Just get a new one and cross my fingers? Its your shot-but try bleeding the M/C itself then the rest, don't work were right back to square 1 with the brake M/C.
