Something doesn't seem right about my brakes.
I have to press waaaay too hard on the brake to get
The truck to stop/slow down.
Even if I bleed the brakes, same thing.
Is it maybe just my MC getting tired or what?
I have performance EBC brakes and rotors and I know they're good,
So maybe its the MC.
Has anybody replaced their MC with better braking results?

Its always done it.
Even after I bleed, no better or worse. Just the same.
I don't think there is a leak cuz the reservoir really doesn't move.
Truck has 160k miles
Oh, and every 6k miles with oil change, tire rotation, and air filter cleaning/oiling, I flush seafoam through the vacuum pump via the PCV valve line, so I know my vacuum is clean.
