I have a '95 6.5 and am having trouble with the brake pedal staying depressed after braking and especially if I brake then turn at the same time. Wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem? How do I fix it? Is it the power steering pump? I've heard that the brakes and power steering work together.:help:

sounds like you've got a leak. check the fluid level?

Yes, the brakes(hydro-boost) relies on the power steering pump.

So are you saying that the pump is the problem? I have plenty of brake fluid and the calipers are new.

the booster uses the power steering fluid, so check that.
