Brake problem

My dads truck the brake pedal is like pushing on a concrete wall, it's either all or nothing and we can't even press it down enough to trigger the brake light switch... What's wrong with it?

Re: Brake problem

Take the master loose from the firewall to eliminate the pedal linkage. If thats fine loosen the line at the master to make sure the master is free. Work your way from there to elimate problems such as a dented brake line.

Re: Brake problem

Is this manual brakes or power brakes? Original or aftermarket?
