Brakes

1992 F250. My brake pedal was nearly hitting the floor. After a new master cylinder and new power booster and bleeding, still the same. If I shut the truck off I have plenty of pedal. Help.

Did you bench bleed the master cylinder? Did you bleed the ABS valve? In what order did you bleed the rest of the wheels?

Bench bled the master, don't know what the ABS valve is. Started with back passenger then back drivers then front passenger and finally front drivers.

The ABS valve is on the driver's side framerail about under the master cylinder. You can't miss it, it's got several brake lines going in & out. There is a bleed screw on it. You have the wheel order correct, but you need to bleed the ABS valve before bleeding the wheels.

I will try that. Could that cause the pedal to go to the floor only when the engine is running?
