Does anyone know a cure or rememdy to these soft *** brakes on my truck? I have been dealing with them for 6 years and hating every minute of it!! I appreciate any help!

Thanks!

 

Stainless braided hoses made my pedal stiffer...if you're running big wheels (20's), then the pedal will feel like crap no matter what you do unless you do a big brake upgrade.

 

A brake fluid flush makes a noticeable difference if the fluid is old.

 

Hydroboost and braided brake lines.

 

My 95s brakes really sucked after I put a LT4 hot cam in it and then proceeded to put rear discs on it with a NBS HD master cylinder. It was extremely high, very little assist, and spongy. I threw the vacuum booster in the trash and put hydroboost on it and changed out the pedal to the hydroboost pedal and the difference is night and day. The pedal is as rock solid as you can get for rubber hoses and the brakes just work beautifully. In a panic stop it will lock all four wheels up without hesitation. Never, even with the stock little 235 75 15s would it have done that.

My 99 has the same crap soft brake pedal feel you are talking about. I've got another hydrobooster I'm going to throw on it and see what happens.

 

Please keep me posted on your results with your 99 as I know that is the same as my 2000! Thanks

 

Braided lines, powerslots, hawk pads, bleed...step 2, hydroboost...step 3, big brake kit...

 

All of the above in mine and man what a difference.
