Long travel in brake pedal after sitting out overnight in the cold.
My wife is the main driver of our 99 and this last week it has started to get really cold at night, she mentioned to me over the weekend that the brakes are really bad when she goes out to work in the morning. I got in it the next morning and sure enough, the pedal is completely dead until it's basically on the floor and then the brakes will grab. Drove it around for a few minutes and the brakes came back to normal, basically as the engine came up to operating temps.
Gave her my truck for work this morning so I could check it out again, and sure enough for the first 5-10 minutes of driving they were dead.
Any suggestions on where the issue could be? I've been meaning to get the brakes done anyway so I ordered new pads, rotors and stainless brake lines to do this weekend, will flush with new fluid as well. I know the pads and rotors aren't going to really fix this issue but thought the fluid could possibly be really old, I've only had the 4runner since around April this year.
I have searched a bit but haven't seen any thread with the same issue as mine.
