Brake peddle pressure

You guys need to learn how to spell pedal

Says the person that put an s in Florida ?

Florida was taken and this was close enough lol

Holy shit I didn’t notice the Florisa from
Florida…

This means I’m qualified to work for the F.B.I now…

My Arkansas Public School education is to blame. My breaks don’t work so good

My Dad always said if you couldn't spell a word 2 different ways...you were not very creative!

See this feedback from Anu2g with just replacing the front OE calipers.

Group Buy #1: RB Performance Brakes 4-Piston BBK For 18" Wheels Q1 2024 (CLOSED)

Is GB2 closed out?

"Actual usage: My main intent was to improve the brake feel, as I felt the OE brakes were not confidence inspiring at all. That goal was absolutely achieved with just the front caliper replacement. The pedal is significantly firmer and it's easier to modulate the brakes, which results in a better handling car, since I can have more precise control of the brakes when going into a turn (some context: I drive road courses like Watkins Glen, VIR, Summit Point in a 911 GT3 with AP Racing calipers, so I really, really like using my brakes to load up the front to turn in [not just to stop]). In highway driving, I felt more confident driving at higher speeds and when going onto ramps, I felt comfortable approaching with more speed than usual, knowing I could shed the speed before the turn began. Framed differently, if the truck had came this way, no one would be complaining about the brakes. Also, the balance of the car is still 100%, which I assume is a factor of the strategic piston area that this setup was designed to have. Conversely, in my JL Wrangler (with a Magnuson Supercharger), I have 6 piston Baer front calipers w/ OE rear calipers, and while they do their job, there is absolutely a ton more front brake bias than the car came with. I've altered my driving habits to adapt to that, so no big deal, but it's nice having the OE balance with this RacingBrake kit, especially considering I do intend to tow and use this truck for other utility. Value wise, the front caliper upgrade feels like a no brainer to me. Framed differently, if it was offered as a factory option for the MSRP of this upgrade, I think nearly everyone would tick the box."

Hi fellow TRX’ers,

I searched everything under brakes on the form and did not find this particular concern. The brakes on these trucks are obviously not ideal but I have a strange concern. When I apply the brakes, it feels like the peddle is soft and depresses farther than it should. Sometimes like it simply does not have firm peddle pressure/resistance. I can let off and reapply (like pumping the peddle) and the resistance is much firmer. Anyone else ?
I checked the fluid reservoir and it is full.

Thanks

I have an update on the pedal pressure concern. I asked the dealer to have a look at the last oil change and they said was as it was supposed to be and there is a vacuum assist on supercharged engines for the brakes and as the supercharger pulls vacuum it can affect the braking. I still did not believe it was correct (totally) so I started poking around for a vacuum leak. I found this (not sure the part) but the orange cap was barely on. So, I seated it properly and my pedal pressure is now consistent and as I feel it should have been all along. So, question of the group, what part is this exactly? It is right behind the drivers headlight.
