Hey Guys,

I didnt really know where to post this, so here we go. I just got my truck a few weeks ago, and it always has had a soft brake pedal. For the first few inches it presses really easy, like it doesnt offer any resistance. After that it feels like a normal brake pedal. This is the first vehicle i have owned that did this so if you guys have any ideas, please help me out.

Thanks alot!

How bad are the pads worn?

Not bad at all, brand new when i got the truck

Have You tried bleeding them?

Bleed improperly and you will have more than a soft pedal.............How 'bout you fix the hardware and rust deficiencies at ALL 4 corners, first.

There are quite a few converts into "believers" that their truck really can stop so well on stock parts. I don't really feel like scouring the sight to quote them all.

And once that has been performed, then consider bleeding if it's still too soft for your liking, Read this http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=298416&highlight=tech
