So I am at the light and the Bus decides it wants to die. I think about it then decide I need to check the timing but I notice that it's running fine. Then I try to stop hard and I feel the pedal go all the way to where it should and feel complete resistance but I am still rolling to a stop. I noticed a push rod leak about a week ago so I bled the brakes and noticed that the leak is worse last night. Today some A-hole pulled out in front of me and I couldn't stop luckily no one was in the lane next to me... Coincidence?
