Default 2011 3500 Spongy Brakes

2011, 3500 Dually has very soft brakes. 67,000 Miles. Rear caliper pins lubricated, Have to push pedal almost all of the way down. Any thoughts?

Pads worn out? Leak in the system? Gas or diesel?

Diesel, pads are good. We are going to take front apart and check caliper bushings on there as well.

When was the last time you did a brake fluid flush? I would check all the lines for leaks if your losing fluid, you could have some air in the brake lines. Are the caliper sticking and not retracting?

Hi Fadotubby60b,
We certainly understand why this may be concerning. We kindly recommend having your dealer inspect this concern for you as they are in the best position to assist.
