Ok, so for the past year i have noticed an issue with the brakes on my 03 ranger.
When this issue occurs, this is what happens. When i hit the brakes, the rear tires screech and the front tires dont seem to be doing anything at all to stop the truck. The pedal feels very sensative aswell, as in even if i tap the pedal the rear tires lock up and the front tires keep rolling. This happens every blue moon with no warning. Though i do believe this happens more often when it is damp outside, becuase everytime i remember this occuring it was damp or rainy outside, however this doesnt happen EVERY time its damp outside. As i said its every once in a blue moon, but when it does arise it seems to be only when it is damp outside.
anyway, my guess is the proportioning valve has some gunk in it ( as the truck has 90,000 miles on it with the original fluid in it), however if anyone else has delt with this issue i would like to know the exact cuase of it to avoid wasting hard earned cash, thank you!
