I may have misled you. I have not changed to a larger diameter cylinder yet. I was wondering if it would help, but apparently you think it would make the situation worse.

By a soft pedal I mean it is not firm when you push down on the brakes. It feels like it has a long pedal travel and is a little spongy when you first push it down. If you release it and push it again it "pumps up". It feels like there is air in the system somewhere, but as I said earlier, I have had it power bled twice by a professional shop. The guy that did it has worked for GM for 20 years and he is a very knowledgable. I think I will obtain a brake line plug and check the front and rear systems by themselves to try to locate the problem. Maybe that will help, at least I can hopefully narrow it down to one system or the other.

Any other advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you

Bob
