Fluid in brake booster... 2004-2008 f150 master cylinder replacement

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Over 23,000 miles I had to refill my 2004 F150 brake master cylinder twice, but saw no leaks. Turned out it was leaking out of the back of the master into the brake booster!

    I have the same problem with a 2000 Intrepid my family still owns. I was curious if anyone else had this problem on you tube which brought me here to this Video. Funny thing I have that same Harbor Freight brake bleeder suction tool system. Thanks for reminding me. Great Video by the way. I rather watch something like this then a lot of the crap shown on TV these days. Thanks for making this video.

    Same here! 73 mark iv. Fluid level kept dropping and I couldn't find the leak. Then it started smoking out the exhaust! 🤘💯

    Can fluid be sucked into the brake booster after a master cylinder replacement, if the brake booster is bad? ?

    You could have simply put the two plastic tubes into a second container filled with brake fluid. That's probably what was intended by the manufacturer of the master cylinder.

    I replaced the master cylinder than bleed it and than bleed the brakes, I installed new rotors and new brakes with the same old calipers and hoses. I see fluid when bleeding driver and passenger wheel, but when I drive I see smoke on the passenger side and the caliper is locked, I can hear the rubbing. What can be the problem and also what solution do you suggest? Thank you.

    My issue is the brakes slowly go to the floor no matter if I press them quickly or slowly. I checked the tube going to the booster and fluid is not going in. No gurgle and no fluid on/in the connector. Can the master cylinder still be bad and not leak into the booster? I have not noticed any leaks and loss of fluid. Thank you for this video.

    Yes,the seals could be letting plunger push thru fluid instead of only against it.

    Great job. You could submerge those short tubes into separate bottle half filled with brake fluid. Would make it much easier and cleaner to bench bleed master.

    Great idea. You see? Thats why they say that 2 heads think better than 1. I take off my hat to both of you. I just evacuated all the fluid from my booster, now I gotta think of how Im gonna clean out tje residue. I may have to remove it and wash it out with soapy water and let it dry for a few days. New ideas will be appreciated.

    @@likits1999 never happened to wash one. Those I've done so far never developed a problem down the road. I would just replace it and only if it goes bad. Personally don't like idea of having water in booster as it's gonna be hard to dry it

    Will that cause the brakes to lock up if you have a good amount of fluid in the booster?

    Brad Morgan yes there are rubber seals on the “plunger” in the booster, I always replace both when I come across this problem

    There is a difference between some brake fluids. Dot 3 is for typical/normal driving/braking. Dot 4 is for heavier duty braking (like pulling a trailer, etc. and had a higher boiling point) and is comparable with Dot 3. Dot 5 is NOT compatible with Dot 3 and Dot 4. If Dot 5 is put into a Dot 3 or Dot 4 system it will eventually swell up the rubber seals and components and mess the brake system up big time! I hear Dot 5.1 is compatible with Dot 3 and Dot 4, but I don’t know much about Dot 5.1 .
