Come along in this video as I repair a 1990 Ford F-150 that is loosing brake fluid fast but it's not leaking on the ground!? Where the heck could it be going? Don't forget that the brake booster can hold a LOT of fluid before it starts burning it in the engine.
-Enjoy!

I once bought a remanufactured brake booster from AutoZone and installed it on my 95 Lincoln Mark VIII. It's quite the job on that particular vehicle. Got it all finished, started the engine and it was bad right out of the box! Major vacuum leak. It was sandblasted just like the one you installed. Moral of the story is NEVER buy remanufactured parts. The quality control is terrible. I'd rather try a used OEM vs remanufactured.
Why aren't replacement boosters painted black like the OEM part? I know that brake fluid and paint don't get along but if the factory suppliers can do it on OEM parts, why not for the replacement parts?
I'm a little curious when 'nut' and 'bolt' became interchangeable terms? Back in my day they were different things. Both had similar functions but we're quite different to each other. Aside from some tube/pipe fittings, a nut had a hole with a female thread, and a bolt was a cylindrical rod/shank with a male thread. Did I miss the day the collaboration happened, or have the 'enginerds' been lying to me all these years?👈🤣
Now that's a beautiful truck 😍😍
Congratulations on 750K subs well deserved…
Free tip Monday on not pumping the brakes alot to bleed the system. The owner should buy a beater and keep it out of the salt oh yeah oil that step stool thanks
Just bought 90 F-150 2 months ago and love it, very clean rust free came from Las Vegas and no will not see snow/salt in Mich !
I got a 04 Saturn Vue that eats fluid with no leaks. Great advice. Wish I could support ya besides a like and comment.
That stool sounds like two skeletons screwing on a tin roof.
I really like the new Snap-on pliers Eric is using.
Hey I really need your help with my car
"My Harbor Freight Step Stool here…((Not a Sponsor!)) " fixed that for you…
That step stool is an abomination!
Curious I understand why the master cylinder needed replaced but why was the vacuum canister replaced as well instead of just being dumped out.
Video quality is nice to watch thanks
Every day is a school day, im 56 and l didn’t know that can happen.
Half way through and I thought someone was making popcorn or working on some annoying thing in the background. Only to find out it was a stool. 😂
My goodness, I’ll send you a new step stool for free if I never have to hear that again 😂😂😂
I picked up a pair of those snapon pliers after seeing them on Rainman Ray's channel. Gotta be one of my favorite pliers to use now.
What's that cracking noise
Love it! Big Ford guy here. Love my Ford trucks!! Have a 1983 F250 and 1988 F150!
This is probably the only time you can say "I whipped out my tool" on YouTube and not get demonetized.
Blinker Fluid?😮
That HF stool sounds like it could use a little Fluid Film. 😉
When I replaced the master cylinder on my old 88 ferd I bench bled it with it sitting on the core support and held it with one hand and pumped it with the other. Fortunately though, I had some brake plastick bleeder screws with hose on them. I think I got them with a master cylinder about 1991. Oh and I used an old dull phillips to pump the cylinder. They been in my roll around ever since.
Must be lust, love takes 7 days.
“Simpler time boys. When men were men and women were women.” – Makes me sad to know where we are as a society and country. Keep up the good work, Eric O! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
"Simpler time" got me all nostalgic. In the mid 70's I had me a 1966 F100. huge V-8. Loved that beast.
During that era Ford could not decide I'd they were using metric or SAE. My 90 F350 needs all the wrenches! Love your channel!
Your noisy Harbor freight stool sounded like popping pop corn in the background, had to pause the video to make some popcorn to finish your great video! West Coast Oregon.🍿
Sounds like you're standing on a box of soda pop cans with that ladder LOL
Great video Mr O 😊😁
I love an old ford truck. My dad had a 78 with the straight 6, 3 peddle job.
I have a folding stool from HF. Had to add traction tape. The grit doesn't let me slip anymore .
I suggest a Kroll treatment for the step ladder. Or fluid film.
Hi. How are you?
how can i improve the braking of an 06 stratus it has new cylinder pads and fluid but not enough grip.
Greetings!
Had an old Ford Pickup once. Might still be on the road somewhere. Thanks for Sharing!
oh it’s stiff alright from what she said haha
this is the kind of stuff i worked my way through college on mostly 60s and 70s easy straight forward.
Don't for get to beed the booster..lady..there's ur problem..
I never would have looked there and I have been wrenching cars since you were a youngin. Thanks another great video
I have a 2012 Mazda 5. Chnaged the master cyclinder 1 year ago, I noticed brake fluid have to keep filling once a month for 100 mil. Is it the same issue as this bad booster?
I HAVE SEEN CHEAP REBUILT UNITS…CHRISTMAS TREE HONE…TAPERED END…LEAKS BAD…STONE HONE ONLY…
PLEASE BROTHER RESPOND TO ME HOW YOU DID THIS WITHOUT GOING TO WEACH WHEEL SYLINDER & CALIPER TO GET ALL THE AIR OUT IF THE LINES. THANK YOU BROTHER GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHER. 🙂💖
Hope he enjoys it while he had it. HAHAHA!
Man, that was EXACTLY like the master-cylinder/brake-booster replacement job I did in my 1968 Ford Galaxie. Amazing that Ford changed almost nothing in the 22 years between '68 and '90. (The brake-fluid reservoir on my Galaxie was metal, not plastic — that's the only difference I saw) I guess if it works, why change it, eh?
BEFORE I EVEN WATCH IT…BRAKE FLUID IN VACUUM BOOSTER…
Yep, get a better stand than the Harbor Freight noisemaker….otherwise, great vid
