I hate to bring this up as it's kind of a cop out, but in a situation where the brakes are giving you problems, hunt down a good brake shop that will "power bleed" the system. Don't ask me exactly what they do. I think they hook something to all 4 wheels, open the valves and push fluid up the lines, but I'm not sure. All I know is when I had it done on my truck when I had a problem, the pedal DOUBLED in firmness. It didn't cost very much either ($30?).
