Ok, i know this isnt a dmax (shame on me) but it could be generalized into our trucks 
.
Ive been fighting a brake issue in my samurai. For one, the brake lines have not been opened up in the last 8 years (7 of those were strictly wheelin years and it was trailered). about two weeks ago i noticed the pedal was starting to fall on initial braking and would require a pump or two to bring it back up. well both my front rotors were semi warpped so i changed them out for new ones and pads. put it back together and bled the brakes to get some fresh fluid in there. Made no change other than the vib upon braking stopped. drove it another week till yesterday so i could make it to the junk yard and find an upgraded larger master cylinder off a mazda as i was 90% sure my master cyl was shot. not to metion the bigger cyl would help with the yota axles im running and 35" tires. So i put it all together, bled the brakes and went for a drive. brakes still felt squishy so i fully flushed the whole system and found a bit of trapped air in the rear lines. went back out and the thing stop great ACCEPT when i turn left. if i turn right, go straight or back up, pedal stays solid. turn left and then hit the brakes and the pedal drops half way before stopping the sami. Tried to do a quick bleed again and no change. rear drums are adjsuted properly, wheel bearings are tight, calipers LOOK ok, no leaks, no loose lines, im kinda at a loss. im gunna try bleeding the system again and see what happens but hell, the crown vics i worked on used less brake fluid to flush the system than ive already run through this sami. No abs btw. any ideas?
