Had hard brake problem...
« on: July 17, 2012, 11:03:39 PM »
Thanks to bd my thoughts of my brake booster where confirmed. For about a week now id been having a hard to soft brake petal problem. It started off as when you first step on the pedal it would be firm as a brick, then after 25% of the pedal travel. It would go soft. I drive 50 miles a day and in rush hr trafic 90% of the time, so braking was horrible... why did I let it get so bad you ask. Well the problem didn't start untill I put a can of. Seafoam in the tank. I did take off the vac filter. I think this may be a reason y the booster went bad after I put the seafoam in. Anyhow I put in a new booster and all is well vac is bac to normal and brakes feel like a new 2012 truck. Awesome. Thanks!

Glad you got it fixed!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
