My most prized possession, my 1971 M35A2 Deuce in pristine original condition has failed me. A bit off topic, my son threw a baseball shattering the drivers side windshield. So I spent the better part of the day replacing it, along with the wiper arm and wiper blade. The truck sat idle for more than 3 weeks while I was waiting for the replacement window. So after completing the repair, I proudly started her up and began to drive toward the main gate of the compound. Can you imagine my surprise when I tried to slow down and the brake pedal went straight down to the floor. Pump, Pump, Pump, and real aww shi# moment. I mean a really check your shorts event.
My question is what would cause a perfectly maintained, air over hydraulics Tacoma system to suddenly fail without warning. Foul play? I'm in good with the wife... Hmmm. I'm looking for any advise on what I can check, the most common reasons for a total and catastrophic failure. Thank you in advance as this is my first military vehicle.
