Situation get's worse. I don't know what kind of hack was working on this truck, but dude, please stop. Just retire or something...
I was going to move truck from parking to garage so I start working on it - no brakes, pedal on floor, barely stopping. My daughter was driving it this week. She said "dad, I wanted to tell you brakes are bad". Bad??? I don't know how she survived and didn't get into accident. This is ridiculous..
Remember - all lights ABS/BRAKE/TRAK came on earlier? But I drove and was OK. And I did hook up Techstream and there was no errors and module would't communicate so I made a conclusion it is OK until I get module fixed.
Now.. I am taking this thing apart. New master should arrive within a week. First I see - ABS module is held by one nut. So, someone was there...

Keep working, removing lines, etc. Brake lines were not lose, but not tightened how I would tighten them, but OK..
Next - inside. Need to remove 4 nuts and a pin with clip. First thing - there is no clip. Bolt instead. THANK YOU for at least putting nut on. This is very nice of you. No, this bolt wouldn't walk out and no, I wouldn't lose brakes...

Next I see something really bad.. But wait. Now I got master removed and this is what I see..
Gasket?? What gasket?
I guess story went like this. They decided they need new master. Then, they got wrong master and it didn't fit. So, why can't we just drill some new holes? Makes sense, right?
I don't know. I am lost as to what is going on there. When I got it - there was brakes. Pump was running too often (but might be subjective), but it was pumping within 30 seconds. Blead brakes fine, all was fine.
It WAS leaking before, because paint on frame was all gone. But if they did replace master and it was correct replacement, then why it failed now? I ma just scratching my head here.
Well, at least now I am getting new master, I will put toyota fluid, I will take care of ABS module. What else can go wrong? Lines look good..
