poor brake response

hello to all again, seems like i have been posting a lot here latly but i guess my truck has hit that mileage that a lot of little things have started to come up. lately i have had poor brake response and it seems to do it worse the hotter outside it is. when i slam on the brakes it takes just a few seconds for them to respond well. i don;t have to slam them on often but have had a couple close calls lately. anyone have some ideas i have bled them twice. thanks

thanks for all the tips but all rotors and pads are good, just replaced booster, and fluid level is good, also when i slam on the brakes the pedal is hard for just a few seconds then the brakes kick in

There is an adjustment bolt that is in the booster assembly that may be the culprit. I know that I've seen the threads about adjusting it here.
