Vehicle specs- 1997 Eddie Bauer, 4.0 SOHC, 2" suspension lift, 3" body lift.
I have run into a problem with the brakes on my truck. When I press the pedal it just does not want to stop. I cant lock the brakes up or even get the ABS to kick in. I even tried locking them up on gravel and I just slowly came to a stop. This all started though after I put on new pads that I got from autozone, the pads were the Performance Friction Carbon Metalic Pads. Now I think that it is rather wierd that as soon as I put these pads on my brakes decide to stop working as well. Is it possible thats these pads are not creating enough friction to stop the truck or is the problem deeper within the braking system?
Any help is greatly appreciated as I am planning to tow a trailer with the truck in the near future and with the brakes like this I cant.
