I ain't got herpes no more.
I searched, and found a thread with a similar problem, but no definitive solution. Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology...
My wife said that when she was backing out of our driveway, the brakes felt stiff and she couldn't stop no matter how hard she stepped on the pedal. I just figured she was a goofy broad, so I responded with "Yo, whatevah" and went back to watching Serpico.
Then it happened to me.
The brakes seem all right, but if pumped, become very stiff and non-responsive. The brake pedal doesn't go to the floor, quite the opposite, you could jam all your weight on the thing, and for a few seconds, they're stiff as a board, then they loosen and the brakes work fine. They also seem stiff when the truck is first started, ie, in the morning when backing out of the driveway.
This is a new development. I have not done any work or mods to the truck in almost a year, and didn't have this problem.
Before I go out and start giving my mechanic ideas, what are your opinions?
Thanks for any and all advice!
