Hey Guys,
I think my cruiser is sulking because I haven't been out playing for so long.
The brakes seem to have died this morning. I had to winch a vehicle up a car park ramp on site this morning, long story, to get it out of the car park. I had one of my guys in the cruiser keeping the revs up and his foot on the brakes to stop the cruiser from pulling forward. All was fine. Went to park it afterwards and now I can push the pedal all the way back to the firewall and it feels very mushy. The brakes do slow me down but are not particularly effective anymore. I checked the brake fluid resi and its still full, also checked the calipers and there is no sign of any brake fluid leaking out. Note I did rebuild all the calipers with new seals a few months ago, I have replaced the factory rubber brake hoses with stainless steel braided hoses. The braking has been great since the service.
So I'm at a bit of a loss as to what the issue could be. I was thinking maybe the booster is on its way out but then I figured the pedal should be really hard to push, not all floppy like it is now.
Any ideas guys?
