Brake fluid still disappearing after R&R mstr cyl & booster, HELP PLEASE
Initially abs brake light came on. Checked fluid...low. Pedal slowly goes to floor.Added fluid, abs light out, pedal goes to floor after a few pumps,fluid disappeared. Replaced mstr cyl(dry where enters booster), bench bled, replaced booster(dry in booster).test drive brakes seemed a lil harder effort needed. Drove app 35miles ok. Today pressed hard on brakes...abs lite on, mstr cyl half empty. Can't find any leaks. My only ride, live in country, SSI. Can't afford pay dealer. I know, same old story...old, poor asking for help
There's got to be a leak somewhere.
You could try refilling the reservoir, starting the truck, then applying the brake. Have someone follow the brake lines to each wheel and look for the leak.
Can you get a code reader to see what fault caused the ABS light?

Exactly! That's what is so exasperating! Will get help to do suggested. Question: if the new mstr cyl has let fluid by(bad part), do I have to replace booster again? Also will check vacuum hose to booster for fluid. Really appreciate your help. Should sign off as "dazed and confused" check back 2moro to see if I need a bicycle lol
ps, 4wheel disc and just checked old original booster...dry

Time to start looking for your leak. I know on the older trucks, the line running down the frame to the rear, right by the gas tank, really enjoyed rusting out and breaking, but fluid would not always find it's way to the ground right away....... 
Test with engine at idle, pump it up, hold some pressure, let it sink as far as it will go, pump it up again. Keep doing that till your buddy finds where the fluid is coming from.
