Yes, analysis might come at a later stage. First I need to get this truck going.
I am coming back to my earlier point criticizing the 'modern' cars and my tendency to drive a car before OBD...
The complexity and entanglement of modern cars with electronics paired with a shop manual vacuum lacking detailed documentation makes it almost impossible to understand systems like the brakes. Unless we are doing private reverse engineering the only chance is to throw parts at the problem.
For instance bleeding of the brakes calipers... you can ask 3 people and you might get three different recipes and none of the recipes might explain why these steps are done this way.... I can see the 'beliefs' rather than proper understanding what is happening and this comes by a lack of understanding of the hydro brake unit.
I have to admit I need to recover after this episode. Please keep fingers crossed that the new hydro booster unit might bring some change.
Best, Martin
