You've probably got a bad wheel sensor. I had one fail 3 weeks after I
took delivery of mine. Had a bad master cylinder too. What year truck are
we talkin' about? If it's a '97 the wheel sensor probably won't be a
problem but I waited 2 months for the master cylinder. I've had the
pedal/pressure problem as well but it only happened after I went through
car wash and hasn't done it after the first 2 or 3 times it happened. If
they ran the proper diagnostics these problems will show up.
