Up untill recently it worked more or less well. The brakes were all ways spongy. I knew they needed to be worked on and I was waiting for new brakes and rotors to come in the mail. Unfortunately my brakes gave out almost completely. I had almost no stopping power one morning. I took it to a parking lot to work on More useful stuff (summary of all this will at the bottom) So far I've changed the brake pads, that didn't help. I notice my brake fluid had run dry, I put in more brake fluid and saw that I had a leak. I replaced so of my brake line to fix the leak. I knew I need to bleed my brakes but I was unable to loosen the bleeder "nipple". This forced me to replace all my calipers and drum brake cylinders. I than bleed my brakes. Still with my brakes hitting the floor with no resistance I removed the master cylinder and bench bled it. Useful information/summary Ford 2000 ranger 4wd with abs I've replace part of my brake line Replace front calibers Replace rear drum cylinders Bled my brakes several times Bench bled my master cylinder Current condition My truck brakes feel strong when the car is off When powered on the brakes feel none existent When on SOMETIMES the brakes have power, and the strength varies from not having any brakes to feeling like a normal vehicle. Current ideas Something abs related Maybe I need a new master cylinder I'm out of ideas, and money. I've been working in this for several weeks and I need this to get fixed, I'm a marine and need the vehicle for work.

You really need to stop experimenting and let a professional look at this truck before someone gets hurt. If you really want to learn how to work on your own car, start with something less dangerous to make a mistake on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
