Brake Problems Pedal Sticks
i have a 1980 ford f150 302 v8 i have been working on it for a while just got it back in shape and runing today.
But when i went to drive it when i hit the breaks the break pedal will stick and i have to use my foot to make it release ,so i was woundering if anyone would know whats wrong and how i can fix it.
i was working on the motor not the brakes that what puzzs me

Welcome To Fte!
How long has your truck sat? I know my dad's 79 Bronco will sit for a few months and then his pedal will stick when he goes to use it. After a while it will stop doing it. I have lubricated the pedal linkage but it didn't help. I think it is the rod inside the master cylinder that sticks (but I could be wrong). I don't worry about it, it will go away. Just make sure you lift that pedal up or your brake lights will be on and you will have a dead battery.
