Serious Brake Problem
Hey Guys,
I am having a very wierd problem with the brakes on my 99 F150 (4-Wheel Disc). It seems that any time I am making a slow, continiously braking, turn into a parking space or stop sign the brakes are nearly failing. The pedal goes almost all the way to the floor, and you have to literally stomp on the pedal to get the truck to stop. While this is happening the pedal is pulsing like the ABS is kicking in. New pads and inspection of the rotors was done today. Neither of which helped the situation. The fluid is at the right level, no ABS light is on. My first thought was the master cylinder, but I would think it would be acting up all the time and not intermittently. I am completely lost on this one, and dare I say it.... I am actually considering taking it to the dealership in the morning.
Thanks for Any Help,
Landen

I would think its one of two things, 1st: try and bleed the system start with the bleeder that is the on the right rear. Then if that fails i would think the master cylinder may be the issue and may need repair/replace. Good luck and let us know.

LStoker,
I think the problem with my 98 is similar to yours. When braking the pedal doesnt have a solid feel, I get a "abs" type kicking feel through the pedal, and the faster I go the worse the sensation and no 'abs' indicator light. I've replaced all pads, drums, rotors etc.. How much was the wheel speed sensor?, how many are there ?........Your input is greatly appreciated. bows:
