I had Kodiak disc brakes installed on my 315RLTS by MORryde after the rally. I've now towed over 1,800 miles with the new brakes and (still) haven't gotten used to how they feel. I've complained once to MORryde and before I complain again I'm looking for confirmation there really is a problem.
The issue is the delay in engagement. When I press on the brake pedal there is about a 3 second delay before I can feel the disc brakes engage. What happens is I press too hard on the brake pedal initially (since the truck is doing all the work) and when the disc brakes kick in I have to modulate (lighten) the pedal pressure or I stop too quickly. Maddening.
Is this delay normal?
The video below will demonstrate the issue and shows my settings. Below the video are two pictures showing (I used my video editing program) when I said "mark" each time, so I know there is a 3 second delay.
