Brakes...I've never seen such an issue with brakes in my life.
New rotors, new drums, new shoes, new pads, new MASTER CYLINDER today - I just knew that was it from reading all the posts and searching searching...I should have listened to my brother and bought the power booster while I was at it just to rule that out too!
Brakes do this:
Thoughts??? I'm about to by-pass that rear ABS unit and replace the power booster - that's the only two things left to do.

Brakes do this:
- Squishy, just don't feel right
- I can push the pedal to the floor with not a lot of effort - you won't do this on any of my other cars!
- There is a "kinda slip plop" feel about halfway down to the floor when pushing the brake pedal
- The brakes do stop the truck just fine; even better if I pump them once or twice...as a matter of fact they feel great after doing this like they should feel (no, there is no air in the lines, no holes in the lines, I have checked every one of them)
- If I push them too hard (say when someone decides that right on red is a right away) then the rear anti-lock and brake light always comes on
- I've bled them so much that I should have a PhD in brake bleeding a 91 Explorer (yes, I even bench bled the master cylinder per the instructions) and this thing shoots brake fluid when I bleed them so I know the lines are good.
