ah, that's a key part of the info you left out. it'll be your Master then. i've only ever had a Master Cylinder need pumping to get pressure again, but my Dad's old Buick wagon had the same problem as your Blazer. it even crushed the toe of his work boots once when his foot was in the way.

as for your question bob, yes i've had that mispleasure, that's why i don't like ABS, sometimes lock is better. and ABS is a real bitch if you're not running the exact same diameter of tire the vehicle was manufactured with.
