Ouch!

Anyway, I can’t fix your problem over the internet, but let me take another shot.

Hey it’s free!

This truck uses F250 brakes in the back I believe, and let’s just say hypothetically speaking, someone has had a bad day and order or delivered the wrong master cylinder to the Lightning factory.

It doesn’t cost anything to check.

Hell I don’t even know if there’s a difference between an f150 and f250 master cylinder, but I’ll give you this, my 1999 Lightning 40,000 miles, original discs, third set of pads, (and I use Jesus Christ as a braking marker) can lock the brakes up then activate the ABS at 100mph with a quick jab. If you can’t do this or even come close to this, then something (parts) has changed between a 1999 and your year model.

I forgot to add, slight, slight mush, but what you would expect from a road going vehicle.

Tim, have you ever played with master cylinder ratios before? I know that you like to autocross, it would be right up your alley.

 

Thanks for the tips, Boo.

If you search the archives, you will see that most people feel that the Gen 2 brakes are mushy. You may have some factory freak.

I am just about at the end of my rope. Brembos and custom cooling ducts, and I still have sh*t for brakes.

I am thinking replace the master cylinder. I mean, what else can there be?

 

Tim,

Just something to wet your wistle.
