My 06 F-150 is having an issue with the brake pedal pushing to the floor when I brake slowly but if if the pedal is hit sharply there is much more pressure in the system. What is causing this problem?

Change the brake fluid (I go for every 2 years), and bleed them.

Yeah, you should replace the fluid. My truck has gone 13 years with the original fluid in there. And I think its pretty much time I put fresh fluid in there. (I'll do that when I do the brakes in the next week or two)

As far as I know, my 05 has the original brake fluid as well. Replacing front & rear pads if it ever stops raining. Not sure why you can't drain & replace OEM recommended DOT fluid and use DOT 5.

I purchased DOT 5.1 fluid from RockAuto, it has a chart on the differences for the fluid https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...=8319080&jsn=1
