My buddy has a 01 Chevy Silverado 1500 4.3l 5sp. After owning it for a month or so the clutch went out or so they thought. A certified diesel mechanic said he needed a new master cylinder when the problem was fluid leaking where the line comes out of the master cylinder.
They purchased a new master put it in but didnt hook anything up. Another certified diesel mechanic pulled the new master out and tore it apart saying it needed rebuilt. Put it back together so on and so forth. I have rebuilt it 6 times now everything seems to be working.
When I bleed and prime the master no matter how many time I do it it still pushes air thru the lines. Never stops. Hook everything back up and it will build pressure to an extent then act like there is air in it and go back to a spongy pedal any suggestions? They also spiced the line from high pressure rubber to steel line back to rubber with compression fittings. Any tips would be useful. Last thing I have to try is running full steel line from master to slave.
