Brake pedal
I readjusted my brake pedal today. I put the rod from the master assembly as far out as I felt comfortable with. Tightened up the jam nut and it feels much better and has room under the pedal now when I step on the brakes. The disc brakes still don't seem to be as good as I had wanted but they do stop the truck.
I have never seen a truck with both holes in the brake pedal assembly that so many talk about, plus my truck in a factory disc brake truck to begin with and it only has 1 hole. It may not be perfect but it does feel better as far as pedal feel now.

Re: Brake pedal
That's about what I gained by adjusting mine too. I've never seen a pedal with two holes either.
And don't you have a late model master cylinder on yours?

Re: Brake pedal
It took a bit but I found what I was looking for. This is out of the manual for the brakes. So after adjusting the pedal rod I have plenty of distance from the floor.
