I drive a 1994 4.0 Extended Cab Ranger, auto 4x4, auto tranny, Dana 35 front Ranger 8.8 rear, 3.73 gears. This is a problem I've had since I've owned the truck but it just now is starting to annoy me. Right after startup my brake pedal will travel very easily without operating the brakes at all, until a certain point when it will grab and stop the car very roughly, this is at low speeds I haven't tried it at high speeds. After pumping the brakes a few times the problem disappears so I've just taken to pumping the brakes in the driveway before I leave. I have no brake light. I replaced the brake hoses on the front in December after they both exploded, I've repacked the wheel bearings, replaced all the ball joints, the front shocks, the rear shocks need to be replaced, the fluid level in the master cylinder has not gone down, and there is some rust on my power brake booster but it still has a vacuum.
EDIT: I'm pulling left under braking, and until the pedal hardens up a little the left rear tire locks but only the left rear tire. That's why I've been stopping rough at slow speeds.
