: soft or firm brake pedal?

I am wondering if this is normal or not. You see two weeks ago I took my truck in to have GMC dealer service dept replace all bleeder valves because they were kind of rusty. They replaced them under warranty. I forgot what it is feel like when I press the brake pedal. For some reason I think the brake pedal,I feel, is too soft. I thought it is suppose to feel firm? Which one - soft or firm?

Mines been pretty soft since it was new. It got alittle better when I put the braided lines on it with the lift.

its likely normal and you are looking thinking something is wrong because you know something was done.????

And in the hundreds i have driven i have found them to be all over the place in terms of pedal feel. If they just replaced the bleeder screws(they are all rusty looking,,,,lol) there is no reason to bleed the brakes as the valve is at the very top of the fluid, most techs will let them gravity bleed just to make sure.
