I have tried search and nothing seemed to be what this is....I have a 2000 2500 and just recently the brakes started acting up. the brake light on the dash as well as the abs are on. i can drive it fine but when its time to stop the pedal goes about 3/4 of the way before any braking or resistence starts. after that it brakes fine...i checked the fluid level and its fine...not sure whatelse to check...any thoughts let me know...thanks in advance

I bet you have a brake line that has swelled. . .would be easier to just change them all.

 

what would of caused it to swell? ive been around cars and trucks all my life never ran into a problem like this...but ill take a closer look at everything

 

I think i have found the cause to my problem there is a leak near the rear axle and it looks to be coming from the brake lines...i attached a pic...

I'd say you found your culprit. . .

but to answer your question, sometimes those rubber hoses do give way. . .

 

is there anything i should know before i take it for a test drive? i have to bleed the lines but anything else?
