Kind of pissed. 62 Belvedere 4 wheel manual drum brakes. Master cylinder is less than 1100 miles old, new or rebuilt wheel cylinders on all corners. Fresh fluid during install.
Driving to work, on the brakes at 4 to 5 stops. Go to brake next time and pedal goes to floor. Use e brake to get it stopped, turn it around and limp it back to the garage. Very light traffic thank God. Expect to see something ruptured or leaking....nope. nada. All 4 corners dry as a bone, m.c. dry in engine compartment, nothing leaking in the interior.
Sooooo, I am about 90% positive it it the ACDelco Chinese master cylinder. But the other 10% of me thinks maybe the brakes weren't bled all the way? Only rubber line not replaced 1100 miles ago was the line to the rear different distribution block. Going to get home this afternoon and swap out the rubber line and bleed the brakes again. Also check again for fluid leaks. Speed bleeders on all corners as well.
What do you think? I already ordered a m.c. rebuild kit as the frickin bore should be good. Driven it those 1100 miles without an issue l, firm pedal, panic stopping not an issue either...until today.
Does ACDelco warranty their products? Did I mention I am pissed lol
Edit: it is an AC DELCO professional mc. Brand new, $62.00 from Amazon Aug 10, 2015. Engine fired up in October at some point....so 4 months use and dead. My apologies to Raybestos
