any way to turn up boost, ON MY BRAKES?
Is there anyway to get more hydro boost to my master cylinder. Well my brakes work ok, Its just I feel the pedal should have a softer feel so to speak. I have to put some force on the pedal when coming to hard stop. Now the pedal stays at a normal height. They are just harder to push down than I am used to. My last truck, I don't remember having to push as hard on the pedal to get it stopped. It was a 99 Ram 3500 2wd, CTD. I haven't messed much with hydro boost brake boosters.
suggestions, opinions, advice?

Thanks HRD, I am thinking about flushing the brake system, But I don't think thats gunna help with the feel of the pedal.. I was thinking after I originally posted, The steering seems to be fine. Maybe I should try replacing the fluid in the pump also. I don't know of an easy way to do that. Besides pull the return line from the pump, with motor running start dumping new fluid in, until it runs clean. Should I have front end jacked up, and work steering wheel back and forth? Ideas on that?

no air in the system ever if you don't turn on the truck, so it's easier in that regard
