welcome to the forums

did you bleed the brakes? there may be air bubbles in the lines causing the loose pedal. there might also be a leak in the brake lines, that would cause pressure to drop

most likely air in the system - it never hurts to have the brake system bled once in a while to keep the pedal firm

More info please? Truck, year, trim level, 4 wheel ABS or rear wheel ABS? Is the ABS light on now? Does it prove out when you start the vehicle?

Yeah, I would bleed brakes and if that it is a no go then the master cylinder. I was just throwing in the next thing to check.
