I checked fluid level, pad wear is within limits, rotors are good. Vacuum
assist seems OK, although I've read two conflicting methods of testing it.
The pedal just seems to go down too far and I have to STOMP on the brakes
under hard braking conditions. I haven't owned this truck long, and seems
like it could be air in the system - any ideas or similar problems among you
folks?
