The truck was like that when I bought it.

Therefore you can adjust the height of the brake pedal using the rod adjustment. However once the pedal gets adjusted down sonmewhat it no longer turns of the brake switch and the brake lights stay on. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 899 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 899 |
