This sounds like the hydroboost unit is leaking.behind the master cylinderThe braking system on this using the power steering pump to provide power assisted brakes instead of a brake booster. The hydroboost unit most likely needs replaced.

1995 f350 ford 2 weele drive dually rear drum removal.....do I gotta pull axle? Do I gotta replace seal?

Unfortunately you will have to remove the axles on that model of truck to access the brakes and it is necessary to replace the seals at this time because you will probably cut the old seals upon removal.I would recommend that if you are going to check them you at least need to clean and de glaze the old shoes if you don't replace them!!!! make sure to use a good quality brake cleaner.

1993 F350 dually manual wont move out of neutral

Check the fluid level in the reservoir for the slave cylinder, or look underneath to find a leak. If the reservoir is empty then you need to replace the clutch slave cylinder. A quick fix is also try to bleed the clutch slave like you would bleed brakes, open the bleeeder push the pedal down and hold it until the bleeder is closed, repeat until solid fluid comes out...will take 2 people.

Clutch reservoir is dry on my daughters 96 Eagle Talon the car will not go into any gear.How do I flush the reservoir?If I add oil could this solve the problem

Do not put oil in this system.It uses brake fluid in the reservoir.If the system doesn't have any fluid in it, there is a leak, and both the clutch master cyl and the clutch slave should be replaced. They both were used the same amount of times, and wear evenly. When you add fluid, the clutch master cyl compresses the fluid down the line/hose into the clutch slave cyl. This depresses the clutch fork/arm and disengages the clutch disc so the input shaft into the transmission stops moving, allowing the trans to be put into gear. LOOK FOR THE FLUID LEAKING TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM. This is a closed system, and the fluid never gets used, unless there is a leak.

83 Ford F350diesel dually truck brake problems

you must have a leak in your brakes! check your brake fluid! They may work for now but after all your brake fluid is pushed out they wont work. You better take a look underneath and get someone to press on the brakes to see where it is leaking out. You can keep toping up the brake fluid and that might get you by for a while.

Adjust your rear brake shoes. Then rebleed the system. Start at the master cylinder Bleed master first then the wheel furthest away from the master (right rear then left rear then right front then left front. Do that and your pedal should be good.
