I have been battling poor braking for a while now, to the point where I have just been throwing parts at it. The symptom is that I have a much too hard brake pedal but poor stopping power. I cannot like up the tires if I want too, and when on a very steep descent, I sometimes have use two feet on the pedal just to keep from the truck from moving and the pedal occasionally bottoms out under such situations.
I have replaced the front calipers and the master cylinder. I have bypassed the LSPV and have a manual proportioning valve. I have adjusted the rear drums.
The only reason I have never replaced the power booster is that it seems to pass the tests in the manual. Pedal goes down after stopping the engine. With the engine off, the pedal hits the stop on the first push, but rises afterward.
Any advice would be appreciated.
