I guess this thread is a good place for this.
I drove my wife's 1997 1/2 ton Ford today and immediately noticed the brakes were not right. The pedal was pulsing as if the anti-lock system was cycling and braking seemed to be greatly reduced. I also heard what I am pretty sure is the sound of worn-out pads on the rotor.
have not yet (due to pouring down rain) had the chance to take the wheels off to look but suspect the rotor is trashed and need new pads.
After a conversation with said wife she fessed up that she forgot to tell me.
My question is I have never had the anti-lock system pulse the pedal with worn out brake pads before.
Seemed odd so thought I would throw it out as I know there are folks on here that are truly good mechanics and have probably seen this before.
