I got a 90 cherokee in February with the 4.0 & I've noticed the brakes getting wierd ever since, I can push the pedal almost to the floor(firewall) without much resistance even at a dead stop(the most resistance is when the pedal is pushed the furthest down) and the brakes don't really do a good job, I can slam on them and the pedal hits the firewall &I will slow down but I can't lock the wheels up...it just feels like the brakes should be "tighter" and more responsive.
I was told by the dude I bought it off of that the pads are all new and there's a new E-brake cable, a mechanic who looked the truck over for me when I first got it says that the pads were brand new and I took it to a dealer to get something else looked at and they said the pads are good but the rotors are "blued"(and presumably warped) from heat so they need to be replaced.
I checked the brake fluid level in the square box thingy and it was good and I checked the round thing next to it and it was good as well (is that the clutch resevoir?) so what is most likely my problem here? I don't wanna not be able to stop one day so I thought I'd ask...
Thanks
