BRAKES!!! Stop Argh!
So I am curious about what might be the culprit....
My brakes are working.... BUT they dont seem to be slowing the rig down as it used to.
I am noticing that by the time I get to the stop sign/light that the rig is still moving faster then it normally would.
No it isnt a driver error :-P
So I am wondering if this could be a pad issue or a booster issue?
It does have about 135,000+ miles on it and I bought it as the second owner. i dont know if the brakes were replaces in the first 100,000 miles or not.
I dont have any lights, and really if i stomp the brakes the truck will stop hard, so it has me slightly confused.
Any thoughts on how to check this out?
Thanks

Re: BRAKES!!! Stop Argh!
I never understood why people always complained about the brakes on these things because before it would stop on a dime but now it definitely doesn't have the stopping power it used to.
I know my pads are the factory pads and they have a ton of meat left on them. I do feel a pulsating in the pedal when I hit it hard. I'm assuming (and hoping) that is the ABS kicking in as opposed to the booster or master cylinder going bad.
My brake fluid looks like Coke, I just don't have the time between work and getting my damned bachelors to put any time into my truck.
If you find anything out keep me posted!

Didnt notice any changes in braking power but if I had left it long enough I'm sure it would have happened.
