Thanks. When the problem first started on Saturday, I was not sure if it was my imagination or I was losing brake capacity. When I drove on Sunday, it was very clear I had lost quite a bit of capacity. The brakes were very spongy and went to the floor. Truck still stopped, but needed twice...
Also, will have MC here in the morning. Am I okay removing it tonight and switching out the other first thing in the AM? I'd avoid a second trip, core charge and can get the truck moving (I hope) in the morning.
Thanks again.
How best is it to deal with the LSPV? I know that you bleed each wheel farthest to closes, but at what point is the LSPV bleed? Between the two rear wheels or after each wheel has been bleed?
Well I'd rather replace a master cylinder than a booster I suppose.
Should I bleed the entire system first or just assume its the master cylinder? Hate to bleed the whole thing twice.

This past weekend I experienced a noticeable drop in braking power, losing more and more pedal. I crawled underneath and saw no leaking brake lines. The driver rear caliper though was clearly leaking from the piston.
I replaced the caliper this afternoon, bleed out the wheel...
Thanks- I'd love to do a complete fluid change but have too many pressing projects. I actually have some Dex III in the garage from a P/S job I did a while back.
I recently switched out my radiator and lost some transmission fluid in the process. I'd like to top it off- question is, what should I use? On my Volvo's and Benz's the fluid is very particular.
Whats the appropriate fluid?
I am looking at a set of tires a fellow has that are mounted on avalanche rims. He has lugs and center caps as well.
The bolt pattern appears to be the same as a 1996 Landcruiser- 6 x 5.5. Not sure about the size of the hole for the hub though...I'd think it would be the same but I am not...
All-
I need to replace my muffler, between the tail pipe and rear cat. OEM has a rubber mount- a retangular thing with a threaded bolt on the top and bottom- and the one on there is completely destroyed. Dealer wants almost $30 for the mount and not sure when he can get it. I need to get...
I purchased k seal earlier this year do to another leak that turned out to be the throttle body bypass hose. This time it appears I was not so lucky. I went ahead and poured the k seal in the radiator and the leak has completely stopped. I don't this this works on a line, so I can only assume...
I think this is all adding up. I have noticed a hot smell- like something dripping on the exhaust, on and off for about a month now. I have a dirty engine and I just assmued with all the recent rain perhaps road spray was mixing with the oily residue on the engine and splashing on the exhaust...
Just some more clues. Antifreeze is dripping around the entire tranmission pan until it reaches the rear and leaks on to the cross member behing the transmission. Added to this, because of the driveway the truck is angled slightly forward so anything engine and forward, I would think anyway...
