I bought a 1984 F600 and have been wondering about the hydraulic brakes. There is a power steering pump dedicated to the brake booster (I think it's called "hydraboost"). The wheel brakes are out of adjustment so that it takes 2 stabs on the brake pedal to make it stop. Is this brake system similar to what we find on our PUs that had drum brakes? Can I adjust the wheel brakes in a similar fashion as we used to do with drum brake PUs? My confusion comes from some old posts on this forum describing Ford truck brakes as something very different, maybe similar to British trucks. I have worked on the brakes on old IH LoadStars, and am happy to get away from the vacuum boost system they had.
I appreciate any hints and tips you might have to offer on these Ford brakes.
Thank You.
