2003XLT. started it up, gave it a minute for idle to drop to ~900. step on brake / firm pressure. it goes about 2/3 of way to floor and holds for a few seconds then **** drops all the way to floor. release & press again ... goes all the way to the floor
curious about your statement "stopping wasn't really the issue before, either" and my experience with my brake pedal and wonder if your chasing a non existent problem
Thanks for checking! The spongy, sinking pedal is definitely a new characteristic since I changed out the brakes. I'm just saying I can get enough pressure to stop the truck. The initial bite is pretty high in the pedal travel but it takes a significant amount of additional travel to increase braking force.
I checked in my other vehicle (Subaru WRX STI) and it stays firm no matter how much pressure I apply. My wife's Odyssey, however, goes to the floor fairly easily. To be fair, it needs front brakes soon.
EDIT: Also, I should add that I never get firm pressure on the first push. It goes right to the floor unless I pump it 3-4 times.
