welcome to da site, yo! I GOTS DIS ONE!

First you wanna be checkin yo fluid.

1. Pops da hood, yo.

2. Be lookin at da driverz side fo a yellow cap on a clear container.

3. Is thurr fluid up in dat? If yes, be suspectin da Brake Masta Cylinder, or da Brake Boosta. If they ain't no fluid, you got a leak, B! Follow da brake linez off the BMC, and find dat leak!










In all seriousness, I really don't care how anyone talks, I'm just ribbing you a bit. But for the sake of future visitors to the site who may have your exact same problem, do your best to spell correctly, so the search engine has a fighting chance.

LOL!
Welcome to the site, as you can see alot of us like to goof off, but its all in good fun. However since i've been to many accidents, I can understand why you would be concerned about your brakes..

Anyhow start by checking the fluid level like squirrels said. Please give us some info on your truck, such as engine size? 4x4? When did this problem start? On the road or just one day when you went to drive it? If I had to take a guess, if the level is full ,you have no leaks and no one has recently worked on your braking system, it sounds like a master cylinder issue.

Have you tried bleeding the brakes?

check for visual leaks or seeping. verify the wheel cylinders arent seeping around the dust boots.
