Lets see, go down the road where there is no traffic and get up to speed about 35 mph and slam hard on the brakes. Just test it to see if it has good pressure or if it goes to the floor when this is done.

Hmmm the only thing I can think of is the switch for the E brake is stuck.

If the blinking light seems to be syncronus than I would think your truck is telling you to check for code(s).

Thats a good point, I would look into that. Might call the dealer and ask a parts pro if that is possible.
