You have three rubber hoses in the system, one for each front brake, one in the rear, they can go bad, not letting enough fluid pass through to the cyl's. The vacuum booster may be bad, also the splitter valve may not be working like it should.

Hello, welcome to FTE - You may find that you get more answers in the proper forum, This particular forum is for the large Ford trucks, 2 ton and larger - the F350 is a 1 ton and is better posted in the appropriate light truck section / forums

Maybe the Mods will move this?
