Hard brake pedal

Asked by dcspud Jan 18, 2019 at 11:33 PM about the 1987 Dodge RAM 50 Pickup 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I drove my truck 2 days ago and the brakes were working fine. Today I drove
it and my pedal was hard to push and would barely stop the truck. The fluid
level is good. What else might it be?
