Lately my 1988 Double Cab requires me to pump my brake pedal once so it
will grab a little better. If I push the pedal down on the first pump it
will go 2/3 of the way down and it will softly stop the truck. If I pump
it again it will only go 1/2 of the way down and I can stop much better.
It is a bad master cylinder, bad rear brakes or what?
Thanks in advance!
