Most common problems:

Overheating

Hydraulic brakes can overheat, especially under heavy loads or continuous use, leading to brake fade and reduced braking performance.

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic systems depend on fluid; any leaks can cause a loss of braking power and potentially lead to brake failure.

Warped rotors

Heavy-duty use and high heat can cause the brake rotors to warp, leading to vibration and reduced braking efficiency.

Brake pad wear

Frequent use, especially in a heavy vehicle like the F-350, can cause brake pads to wear out quickly, necessitating regular inspection and replacement.

Abs failure

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can malfunction, indicated by an ABS warning light, leading to a loss of control under hard braking.

Vacuum pump issues

For diesel engines, the vacuum pump that powers the brake booster can fail, resulting in a hard brake pedal and reduced braking power.

Master cylinder failure

The master cylinder can degrade over time, leading to a spongy brake pedal and decreased braking efficiency.

Caliper sticking

Brake calipers can stick, causing uneven braking, pulling to one side, and uneven brake pad wear.

Brake line corrosion

Over time, brake lines can corrode, especially in areas with harsh winters, leading to potential leaks and brake failure.

Power steering pump issues

Since the power steering pump often assists the hydraulic brake system, any failure or leak in the pump can affect braking performance.
