Ok guys. Here's the deal.

I'm still having problems with my brakes, if I don't get them fixed, I'm
gonig to get into an accident.

First a little background. I have Powerslot Rotors and Raybestos SSD820's.
The truck has 22,000mi. When I first turn it on in the morning to back out
of the driveway, the pedal seems a little low, and the truck does not stop
very well. About 15-30 seconds later, I have a decent pedal.

Now, going about 40mph+, and if I need to go into a panic stop, the pedal
feels like it just goes to the floor, and I'm not stopping very well at all.
But, amazingly, it stops.

I've taken it to two different dealers. One wouldn't look at it cause of the
Rotors & Pads. The next dealer replaced the calipers, and said the pedal
feel is because of the pads & rotors.

I'm going crazy about this here. Somebody please help!

william
