Brakes problem
1994 Toyota T-100 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 150K miles

I took my vehicle in for exhaust repair. The Car X repair guy torched off the old pipes. Also had an oil/lube. It drove home fine. 2 weeks later after sitting in the garage, I checked the tire pressure and took it for a drive. I noticed a strong pulling to the left and when I tried to stop at a light I lost all of my brake pedal. Had to push to the floor boards to stop. This continued for about 5 miles, then suddenly the pulling stopped and my brake pedal was back to normal. I inspected all the brake lines and the master for leakage and proper brake fluid level. Nothing could seen and no engine trouble light on. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi there,

I feel that you may have 2 problems, I would first get the front brake calipers o/hauled or at least checked for binding up, and the master cylinder may be starting to by-pass that is fluid is leaking internally and the pedal drops away, have this checked as well, start here.
