He said you let the van sit overnight and the pedal is fine, but drive it again until hot and then the pedal gets hard again.
I know the brake system is up to snuff enough to allow for daily driving, this dude who had it is an old car dude, I know he wouldn't drive it every day to work if he thought it was sketchy, but I've got to drive the car 30 miles to my house before I do all major brake checkups/work so if I can adjust out the hard pedal before my trip, well, that would be nice!!
thanks!
