i just recently bought a 98 T4R. This thing has 167,000 miles on it. i'm new to toyotas, this is my first toyota that i've owned. Any suggestion to keep this running for a long time?

I don't know the previous life that this truck has had. but i decided to do the following:

*Tranny fluid change
*Rear Diff fluid change
*Front Diff fluid change
*Transfer case fluid change
*Motor oil fluid change
*Power steering fluid change
*Radiator Flush (this was filled with water)
*New front rotors (they were badly warped)
*New brake pads
*Re-surfaced the rear drum
*New rear shocks (they were leaky)
*Spark plugs
*Spark plug wires
*Fuel filter
*Fuel system clean

Now, there is only one problem that i've noticed. Lets see if i'm able to give a good desc.

It only happens when i brake, and when i let go of the brake pedal. when im coming to a dead stop i notice the truck hesitates a bit, like if i'm pumping the brake, and when i let go of the brake pedal it does the same thing (hesitate). it was very bad at the beginning but after doing the following, it kinda stop doing it. but I still notice that it does a little bit. ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Try bleeding the brake fluid again.
