If the truck is a 1987 or prior model, 1988 model with a 7.3L Diesel, 7.5L EFI gas engine or the smaller family of engines with a Warner T-18 four speed transmission, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm.

2. Check the fluid level to be sure it is at the step diameter of the reservoir. Do not over fill.

3. From below the truck, push the release lever slowly towards the front of the truck several times. Figures 11 & 12.

4. If it will not move, the master cylinder pushrod is not set correctly. See repair Step # 19.

5. Check the fluid level and replace the diaphragm and cap.
