I am also visiting with Jim K. and Ken B. on this problem.
Now, I start engine to build up vacuum. Kill it. Go wiggle the check valve and can hear air. This for 3-4 minutes, just enough to hear air then I stop. Did it twice and heard a little air seep out. 3rd time no vacuum left and I mean I only let enough seep out for me to hear.
The brake pedal, with engine running, goes down 4 inches and I hear the hiss sound as it travels. At 4 inch of travel it stops and is hard, still way up off the floor.
With the engine not running the brake pedal travel is identical 4 inches but no hiss, still way yp off the floor.
I can not move the coach for a day or two to check temps on the hubs.
Thanks,
Dan
