brake trouble

My 95 cc dually was doing just fine stopping the other day then the next time I pushed on brake pedal it felt like I was trying to step on a rock. Still had brakes, but really took a lot of push on pedal to stop. What is the problem and how hard to fix ????

It Could be your Vacuum pump. Usually when the Vacuum pump is going out you will have a rock solid brake, and your Ebrake warning light will stay lit.

Hope this helps

And it is pretty simple to install, u might have to either rent or buy a pulley puller tho. Just Take ur Belt off, and unbolt the Vacuum Pump, Either 3-4 Bolts I believe, u then may have to switch out the pulley on your old vacuum pump to the new one, then just bolt the new Vacuum pump back on, and put the belt back on.
