98 Ram Brake Problems

I have a 98 Ram 1500 and when i hit the brakes the pedal goes all the way to the floor. It stops but not safely. I checked the reservoir and it was kinda full. Should I fill it to the top? There are no leaks around the truck either i saw in another post that it could be leaking into the wheel cylinders? I really need some help asap the truck is in danger of getting towed from where im at. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks.

Re: 98 Ram Brake Problems

Has there been any brake work done recently?
If not the master cylinder needs to be replaced imo. The piston inside is worn out.
