I have a chevy S-10 130,000 miles and we figured out that the brake fluid was low so we refilled it and now ithe brakes are really sensitive. Is there any way to adjust the sensitivity because i'll push the pedel down an inch and it'll feel like im slamming on my brakes. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Could be due to contamination such as grease/oil/brake fluid, rust and a scored drum or rotors-try bleeding the brakes and see what happens
