had to change the rear left wheel cylinder and now this is whats happening with the brakes. press them once and theyll go down all the way with some resistance. pump them 4-5 times quickly and theyll b rock solid but there is no braking power. i bled the wheel good, i mean fluid leaks out on its own when i loosen the bleed valve. is there a special way to bleed these trucks, perhaps something with the hydro boost or whatever its called? that part of bleeding brakes im not familiar with. thanks

You must perform the bleed process at all four wheels, not just at the one wheel.

Ok thanks. looks like another wheel cylinder coming up seeing as the original bleed stems break off so easily.

I would never replace brake parts except in pairs anyways.
You don't have hydroboost, your '95 is vacuum assisted.

Yeah, you don't need to horse 'em tight, just snug. Also, make sure you are bleeding them correctly, loosening the bleed valve just lets air in unless you have someone depressing the brake pedal and holding it til the bleeder is closed.
