Brake pedal travel is to far

[Doogie]

From someone who had this issue - off the lot new and 25 miles on the OD, ABS Module Bleed and old school bleed at all 4 corners, resulted in lots of air found in the system - especially the RR.
Pedal became firm and has remained firm since with 21,500 miles on the OD and very soon to be 3 years of ownership.
I attempted to get 2 dealerships to address it (being a brand new truck) - was told its normal - I was formerly ASE Certified in Brakes years ago before I switched professions - I knew they were feeding me BS and just did it myself.

Granted the Ranger brake pedal still has a noted softness to it as compared to my older vehicles but it at least raised the brake pedal above the gas pedal, that was my issue, get the foot slightly off to the right and when braking you end up hitting the gas pedal along with the brake. Mainly due to the design of how close they are and how low the brake pedal would drop (normal braking foot pressure)
It will still drop lower than other vehicles if you are pressing down hard, but for normal foot pressure it stays above the gas pedal and I have not had any issues hit

ting both with my work boots/shoes on since the bleed.
I am fairly certain if a complete bleed is performed, you will notice a difference in brake pedal height and firmness.

Thanks for the reply, when I can get to it and get it done anything will be better then now
