" The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 70 mph, the low brake fluid sensor suddenly illuminated. Moments later, while attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal extended to the floorboard and the vehicle would not immediately stop. The driver used the emergency brake to reduce the speed and stop the vehicle. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the brake fluid reservoir was empty; however, there was no evidence of brake fluid leaking. After refilling the reservoir with fluid, the brakes appeared to work momentarily before the failure recurred. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 16V345000 (service brakes). The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The local dealer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000."

After talking with Matt, I was able to get in touch with the truck’s owner, David Kostura, who confirmed Matt’s account, and sent me the photo above with the description “I’m heartbroken.”

John Buck’s ’56 started out with this nicely done 502-equipped engine compartment fitted with a 750-cfm Holley double-pumper. Buck just wanted something with a little different look and a bit more refinement.

G-Body Hydramax Clutch KitThis clutch kit from American Powertrain is a true, bolt-on, hydraulic clutch conversion for 1977–1988 GM G-body vehicles. The G-body firewall is not known for its strength to adequately support the extra force needed to engage a hydraulic clutch, nor is it very ergonomic. The powdercoated and laser-cut mounting bracket for the clutch master cylinder uses the factory brake master cylinder mounting location to ensure maximum strength. A Wilwood 3/4-inch bore master cylinder is included in the kit with the Hydramax release bearing that works with the T5, TKO, T56/Magnum transmissions and seamlessly works with American Powertrain’s G-body clutch pedal set. Price: $538–$750, depending on applicationAmerican Powertrain 931.646.4836americanpowertrain.com

"Brakes completely failed while trying to stop from 35 mph at a stop sign entered highway 260 in overgaard AZ – crossed the highway applying full pressure on brake pedal and using parking brake – came to a stop and checked the fluid level all brake fluid was gone, added 12 oz of dot 4 fluid and backed the truck up and parked in a another place to check for leaks – checked the level and all fluid was gone again."

Joel Rode’s Hot Rod Specialties shop in Upland, California, performed the new engine installation along with the FiTech system. With everything bolted in place, we met the ’56 at Westech Performance Group for a final rundown and tune on the chassis dyno. Because of some transmission issues they weren’t able to perform a full power run but, using the Superflow electric dyno, they were able to do some final highway cruise air/fuel ratio tuning by setting a given speed that allows the dyno operator to manipulate various throttle settings while maintaining a given speed. This is something only a load-based dyno like the Superflow can perform.

"I was driving vehicle on hwy at 55mph pulling a 20 foot pontoon boat. Brake light came on with audible warning. I came to the next stop sign and the brake pedal went nearly to the floor with severe diminished braking ability. I limped the truck to a gas station a mile down the road where I checked the brake fluid reservoir which had a 1/2 inch of fluid left in it. I put 12 oz. Of brake fluid in the reservoir. I got under the truck and checked the master cylinder and brake lines from the master cylinder to the back of the truck. I located no leaks whatsoever in the system. I continued another approximate 20 miles and the warning light came on again at which time I stopped again and added 48oz total of additional brake fluid however it disappeared with no leak anywhere. I had to have the truck towed 190 miles home as I was on a family vacation. The truck was towed directly to the dealership and will arrive on Monday August, 20 2018." – Aug 18, 2018 49,181 miles
