Brakes not working as they should (possibly)

Weird title I know, but here is my possible issue. It feels like I have to press the brakes really hard for the truck to stop and it is not smooth coming to a stop, it feels as if the ABS are kicking in like it will slow down, let up, slow down, let up etc. I do not get the shaky feeling of warped rotos.

This wouldn't be due to worn pads, what else could cause this issue? Thanks.

Dont know if this helps but I had this problem when i first got my truck.....turns out that my huge foot was not pressing down on the brake pedal pad.......i was pushing down on the lever part of the pedal, way up above the pad on the brake

 

your hub bearings are bad. my Pontiac Aztec has the same problem. we go through a set of four bearing about every 4 months, (btw Pontiac Aztecs are the biggest POS car i have ever had)

 

Thanks for your replies, I am pretty sure I am pressing the pad but I will check to make sure.

I will look into the hub bearings thing, I did a quick search and didn't see any 2nd gen topics on it.

 

Might want to bleed your brake lines. Only costs a few bucks and it's a simple procedure with a 2nd person.

 

I got a same problem with mine as well... want to find out why.
