    Anybody else brakes feel funny? I bought a 08, the pedal feel odd. I had drove a 10 first and it stopped like nothing I have ever drove. Any ideas?

    Rear brakes are probably not adjusted. The e brake needs to be used regularly. If they aren't adjusted you will get long pedal travel.

    But would need more info than the brakes feel funny .

    I don't suppose that you may need new pads and rotors?

    The pedal is soft and does have lot of travel. The pads are knew. It kind of feels like someone has put a master cylinder of it and not bleed it first but the cylinder looks like it OEM. thanks for info anymore be appreciated.

    Yes e-brake works fine. It's just weird the difference between the 2 trucks. Thanks for the advice
