I have a 1983 F350 cab and chassis with duels, and the 6.9 IDI. I bought the truck for hauling tractors, hay and other things around the farm. The truck weighs 6,000 lbs, and it’s rated for 10,000 GVW. Back a few months ago I got a load of gravel, (about 4,000 lbs, within the GVW limit) I was driving home and noticed that when I pushed on the brake pedal, it wouldn’t stop good. Also the brake pedal is somewhat hard to push, I know it isn’t supposed to be as easy to push as my grandfather’s new Silverado, but it seems it should push easier than that. I have changed the front brake pads to heavy duty pads and change the springs in the rear brakes. For reference, my grandfather's Silverado 1500 will stop a 14,000 lbs trailer without trailer brakes better than my f350 with 4,000 lbs on the bed. The truck stops pretty good empty, but not good with a load. Does anybody know if some thing I can do to the brakes to get it to stop better? Thanks

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
