    It wasn't me, way over my head. I worked on aircraft for 24 years but the car system is beyond me. It took a guy who knows the ford engine to work it out. Took him 30 mins.

    Turns out to be a fault in the immobiliser system. Rear passanger door wiring damaged sending an error signal to the ECU.

    Try "Automobile-catalog" for info on your truck's specs. Western power one's usually have either large rear body's or hydraulic platform on them. So likely HD springs ect.

    Have you checked the amount of free play the pushrod to master has? It is only a very small amount but if too much no brakes. No freeplay and brakes will stick on some.
