Specs....
'94 Dakota
2wd
v6
115k+ miles
Rear ABS (at least i'm pretty sure it's rear... it's not 4w abs)
Pads & shoes replaced at different times in the last 2-3 years.
Rear wheel cylinders rebuilt at the same time.
The issue...
Took the truck out the other after sitting for a couple months and after charging the battery.
When applying the brakes the dash brake & abs lights come on.
When releasing the pedal the tach makes a quick drop of about 1k or so with no difference in engine rpm. Brake & abs lights go off about a second later. The lights are in the same part of the dash as the tach if it matters.
Pedal is very firm but several times under braking it would move down further in 'jerking' or 'stepped' fashion as opposed to a smooth pedal drop like if there was a leak.
Any ideas for cause and repair?
