Replying to: eman4715 (Apr 10, 2009 8:24 am) If you hear air leakage, and you usually should have a change in engine speed at idle when you push on the brake, you have a failed (leaking vacuum) booster.   Get it fixed, quick. You have much less pedal travel available, and significantly reduced braking capability. (You will have to push very hard to stop the car.)

#99 of 116 no rear brakes by bowhunterjeff Jun 03, 2009 (10:12 am)
I have a 94 Ranger 2wd and I have no rear brakes at all. I just replaced the master cylinder and the wheel cylinders in the rear drums. When I go to bleed out the rear after building pressure I get no fluid to come out. Is it possible the abs valve located on the frame rail is bad, or could it be something else.

Replying to: bowhunterjeff (Jun 03, 2009 10:12 am) Well, you do have rear wheel ABS on a 1994.   It's my understanding if you get air into an ABS valve, you cannot manually bleed it out. You must have the tech's electrical diagnostic 'tool' to do it. I think the tool turns on the ABS pump to force the air out. But you cannot manually force the fluid through.   You're going to have to take the truck to a shop equipped to handle it.
#101 of 116 brakes not stopping truck by kag13 Jun 16, 2009 (3:59 pm)
I have a 99 ford ranger 4x4, breaks have been spongy, now at a slow speed when i try to stop it the pedal seems to stop on top and i continue by where i'm trying to stop. could this be air in the abs system or something else? Or maybe the vacuum booster? Thank you for any help someone could give me. Replies to this message: flake55 (Aug 29, 2009 12:58 pm)
#102 of 116 98 Ranger Brake/Clutch pedal Stuck by kjs123 Jul 08, 2009 (4:08 pm)
I have a 98 Ranger2.5L. The truck sat for about a month with a few starts here and there. Now when i press the brake pedal down it stays down and will not come back up. When i hit the brake, the clutch also goes down some with it. The clutch pedal also stays down but is not as bad as the brake pedal. Any ideas what this may be? Cables?   Thanks in advance!
#103 of 116 more brake grab by philliplc Jul 27, 2009 (7:21 am)
1998 XLT here with brakes that have always had some bad grab <15 MPH when cold or wet, sometimes causing the vehicle to skid for a few feet. Ford mechanic found nothing wrong, and of course couldn't duplicate it with the brakes warmed up. From skimming this thread it sounds like that might just be a Ranger design flaw. Assuming it's just to the rear drums catching on slight rust build up or whatever, is there no easy fix? Just something to live with? Thanks! Replies to this message: bolivar (Jul 28, 2009 1:32 am)

Replying to: philliplc (Jul 27, 2009 7:21 am) 'Ride' the brakes gently for the first 100 yards on wet mornings. This will stop the grab on the first stop. Worked on my 94 which lived in a nice garage and still grabbed in wet weather.

Replying to: korypyle (Jul 29, 2008 2:15 pm) This original post is about a year old. Did the ABS pump bleed work? I have the same problem on a '99 4x4, but have not done a "normal"system bleed yet. I really want to get this taken care of ASAP.   Thanks Replies to this message: bigzoman (Aug 10, 2009 9:00 am)

Replying to: garyg8 (Aug 06, 2009 5:05 pm) took it to a dealer they repressureized the system haven't had any problems since.
