Bought the F150

[ChubbyHubby]

I bought it. The only concern I have is the brakes seem to catch really low. He said he had the brakes and rotors replaced 5000 miles ago and I checked them. They looked good, but is this normal?

Hmm- checked fluid? Wonder if there could be air in the lines- that's the most common error.

Mine are half pedal brakes. you have to push down on the pedal 1/2 way before you get a response! LOL

 

[ChubbyHubby]

That's what this one does. You press on them and then after the initial prssure they catch higher.

Mine do the same, if i "pump" them a few times i get full brakes in 2 inches of pedal travel...

Im thinking air in the lines but is this normal?

i rest my foot on the brakes, and it slows down, if i take mine down 2 inches, your talking stopping fast, face re-alignment. after that, its locking up.

Brake proportioning valve anyone? Thoughts? If there's no air in the lines, and calipers/pistons/cylinders are good, then what else??

I'd bleed them to start. Don't cost much but some fluid.
