Question
georg
After accidentally introducing air into the hydraulic system and bleeding it out by pumping the pedal (pump and hold the pedal with a piece of lumber, go under truck and open and close bleeder, release pedal), I will have decent pedal on my drive home. The next day I won't have full pedal and have to double pump the pedal to engage reverse or first. Bleeding again restores the pedal but the day after I end up with a soft pedal and have to bleed again. I have to bleed for about five days in a row before I end up with a permanent good pedal.
Exact same thing happened three years ago. I use my truck as a guinea pig to try out reverse bleeding, vacuum bleeding etc which is how I end up introducing air into the system, in case you are wondering why I end up with air in the system.
My question is, why do I temporarily have a good pedal after bleeding? After an hours drive and
sitting overnight, the pedal goes mushy again. Shouldn't the air left in the system immediately after bleeding not affect it right away, causing a mushy pedal?
