I have spent the last 2 days doing a complete overhaul on my truck's brake system.
I replaced two front calipers after the bleeder screws seized in them and broke off and I bled the entire system with about a 1/2 gallon of dot 3.
The pedal still feels kinda soft to me and I am wondering why.
I sat at a stop sign and pushed the pedal hard, it goes all the way to the floor, and I can pump it many times with the same result, it will go all the way down if I push hard enough. Is it normal to be able to push the pedal to the floor?
Overall I would say that the braking power is OK but not great, I don't think I could lock up the wheels on a dry surface.
Any ideas or am I crazy?:shrug:
I should add: There are new rotors and pads all around, the truck does not pull or shake when stopping.
