How do yalls brakes feel? I just had my front pads replaced and rotors turned. I also had the back shoes and rotors turned about 3 months ago.
my brakes feel kinda soft. I can press the pedal all the way to the floor and the brakes dont lock the tires up or anything. The truck comes to a stop, it just doesnt seem "sudden" enough. Sorry dont know how to explain it better. Do they need to be bled?

thanks

Bleed them. Also, When I did my brake system, I had to replace the proportioing valve? Cost me $100.
