Why doed the brake pedal fade on f350?

There are many reasons you may experience brake fade.

Here are some possible causes,

  1. Contaminated brake fluid.
  2. Internal leak in the master cylinder.
  3. Internal leak in the ABS unit.
  4. External leak in the system.
  5. excessive heat build up in the system.

The modern braking system has become more complex. These ABS systems seem to

allow more "flex" in the hydraulic system allowing more pedal fade.

The three pump test,

It has been a standard for years to test the brake system for Master cylinder by pass. I have tested many newer Fords and they on the most part fail that test. I have been told officially that this type of brake pedal fade is common for this brand and is not an issue.

If you experience brake fade during operation I strongly recommend getting it serviced including having a brake fluid test and flush if necessary. most foreign auto makers require a brake fluid flush every 30,000 to 50,000 mi as a part of their maintenance schedule, the big three do not.

How heavy are bmx mag wheels vs. spoke?

Mag wheels for bmx vary from maker to maker and year to year, older "old skool" mags are much heavier than today's standars. where as some mags of today are cast "layered" in carbon fiber ie much lighter and stronger than conventional soft or hard plastics, but as far as the exact weight, talking less than a pound - 2lbs, which is crap really but in the world of competition .002kg can mean the difference between winner/ loser, and then you can also get into single double triple wall metal rims, which can add substantial weight depending on maker but add great strength the more walls you have to a rim.

on a side note i would use mags, carbon fiber or hard plastic on a freestyle/street bike where as in a bmx i would use triple wall metal rims so you can land harder from big jumps but if you are just using the bike as a cruiser id go with 3 spoke carbon fiber mags, looks sick on old skool bikes ^^ hope this helps

Should you use a thicker tire on a BMX if your a bigger or heavier person?

Depending on how heavy you are. You might either get away by running higher pressures, or you might need wider tires, or you might need to use BOTH wider tires AND higher pressure. It all depends on how much clearance you have between rim and the ground when you're on the bike. Higher pressure/wider tire will increase that distance, and that's what you need to avoid damage to tire and rim on landing.
