you either have a bad master cylinder or you need to replace your brake pads if you hear a lot of squealing when you push down on the brake peddle in most cases that means you need to replace them unless you did recently then in most cases I would recommend bleeding the brakes there could be some air bubbles that are preventing proper pressure in your brake lines

How come when you hit your brakes on your 91 explorer 2wd with rear abs the peddle went to the floor and the truck kinda sped up?
If your brake peddle goes to the floor, you have lost brake fluid from your master cylinder in the engine compartment. Check your rubber brake hoses at each of your wheels, look for any signs of leaking brake fluid at your wheels, connections,lines, and master cylinder.
Brake pedal will slowy go down to the floor and leaks?
Leaks from where? If it's leaking around the pedal, you have a bad mastercylinder. If it's leaking at all, you have to fix that, then bleed the whole system. Not a major thing but I wouldn't drive it like that. if it fails completely, you won't have any brakes.
How do you tell when the brake master cylinder is out?

My brake pedal goes all the way to the floor on my impala wagon 1963 when you apply the brakes what should i do?
Your pedal will go to the floor for a few reasons. First, your master cylinder may be defective and/or empty. The master cylinder will be empty for a reason. Any or all of the wheel cylinders may be leaking, the brake hoses may be leaking or broken, a steel brake line may be rusted through and leaking or broken. A loose fitting will cause a leak too but this is not likely the case on such an old car. I would suggest you fill the master cylinder, bleed the brakes and when done, look for leaks. If you don't find any leaks and the pedal still goes to the floor, the master cylinder is likely bad. Carl King http://www.classiccarauto.com
