Brakes problem
1993 Ford Ranger 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 115k miles

I have begin to notice a rumble sound when I brake. The sound is not there all the time but this morning we have warm humid conditions and it is real apparent. The rumble starts just before I stop the truck. It seems to make the noise only when I have a bit of momentum and the quickly stop. Brake fluid was a little low and I topped it off. Could the fluid need changing? Help...

Turn the radio off and check to see if it makes any noise when you are moving it sounds to me like you have a wheel bearing going out.
