brakes
hi all been awhile
1994 1/2 7.3 psd it has been sitting a few months I have a few problems 1. when engine running I have to pump the brakes continuely pedal just bleeds off no fluid lose , with engine off pedal is hard no bleed off any ideas ? the second problem is if I turn on lights or air my voltage drops below 10vdc the third is hard start I know I need a glow plug relay as no voltage passes through also I bet all the plugs are shot the ambient temp out is over 100 thx

might need a zero loss brake booster
mine does similar once in a while when at a light it will sink to the floor but can be pumped up
is your Alt pig tail loose? its not the best connection to begin with and many spice a new connector in
good hit list here with battery cables

Ohm put the glow plugs first. It is easy enough to do and you will Know their condition. Look real close around the rod that goes through the firewall for the master cylinder. Make sure it is dry. The master cylinder could be by-passing and allowing the pedal to sink
