Hey guys, this is my first post on this forum, so bear with me! For many years my dad had a 1991 Dodge Ram 250. He bought the thing brand new right off the show room floor in '91! But over the years of being worked hard as a farm truck, it has developed some brake problems that are really starting to make me worry every time i drive it. When i want to stop i press the pedal down until i'm slowing down at a good rate, but as i slow down, i have to keep pressing the pedal down more and more to keep slowing at the same rate.....eventually, the pedal is on the floor and i'm still moving at a decent rate of speed! I then have to let up all the way on the brake pedal, and press it down again to come to a complete stop. I usually have to do this twice. Three times if i'm moving at a higher speed. Also, the acceleration on the thing seems terrible. The gas will be on the floor and it will be going about 30. It takes a good 20 seconds to get to 50 on flat ground. If anybody could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Michael.
