If you break pedal is pulsing but is not soft or spongy, that sounds like the rotors on your truck are warped and they need to be turned. My suggestion would be take your truck to a local brake shop and have them take a look.
The service brake is the one which applies the brakes - the emergency brake system is the system which releases the spring brakes.
Your brake fluid is how the brake system converts mechanical force of your foot on the brake pedal, into hydraulic force that applies your brakes. Without fluid, your hydraulic brakes will not function.
Yes. An ABS brake system uses a sensor at each wheel to identify when a wheel is locking up and then the control module automatically pulses the brakes to prevent skidding.
How do I release the frozen brakes on the drum of a 1965 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup
Brake pads? I have a 1997 Nissan 4 WD pickup and it has rear drum brakes. I didn't know they ever came with pads in the rear.
No, they use air pressure or actually the lack of air pressure to stop the vehicle. The brakes are fully on until pressure builds up in the tank releasing the brakes. When you push the brake pedal this removes air from the system and applies the brakes.
it is possible that your brake hoses are bad and soft not letting the brake fluid back out of your calipers
Good question. You may have an antilock brake circuit that is not sensing the brakes correctly and improperly correcting. Anti lock pulses the brakes when you apply them. I don't know if this is perfected or not.

It can wear out your rear brakes prematurely if you do it for a long distance because the emergency brake pedal/handle just applies constant pressure on the rear brakes as if you were putting your foot on the brake pedal. It also kills your gas mileage.
Well the automobile brake systems starts with the pedal that is under your dash, when you apply pressure to that pedal it interns applies pressure to the brakes.
No, most of the stopping is performed by the front brakes. But Honda uses a braking system that applies the rear brakes first. For this reason the rear brakes on some Hondas will wear out first.
