yesterday when i got home from work and parked my jeep in the garage i never would have guessed that i would have problems on the way to work today.
after driving just a few minutes on the way to work this morning i noticed that my brakes were not their normal, happy selves. they got progressively worse and by the time i got to work (about a 30 min commute) i would speculate that the brakes were working at about 15-20% normal capacity.
the problem is the break pedal now has to be pressed to about half stroke before ANY stopping begins and i don't get any pedal feel until about 2/3s into the pedal stroke (and it's super weak at that point). pedal feel is usually nice and firm, and begins almost immeadiately on stroke.
my jeep is a 2001. i'm running the OEM front axle/discs in the front and an '87 xj d44 axle/drums in the rear. i swapped in an e-350 mc about 3 months ago.
PLEASE HELP !!! any suggestions or ideas as to what's going on would be appreciated.
