Brake help
My brakes lose vacuum over long stops ( freeway off ramps etc) and repeated use. When I bought the truck I first noticed this 4 wheeling when I was on a slow decent and so on. I made a vacume canister with a check valve. Helped a little bit. I also have the upgraded gm rear cylinders. My truck is also lifted and I know this puts extra strain on the system but they seem to always lose vacuum. I have learned to live with this for a while but I more worried about when the girlfriend needs to drive the truck or someone else. I usually dont have a problem stopping the truck thanks to doing squats at the gym
I could my vacuum booster be deteriorated? Can think of what else besides my vacuum pump could be bad but everything else works fine.
Thanks,
Josh

I just added the check valve to help aid my problem, did not do much. The reason I did it is because I read on alldatapro.com about the TSB with dodge adding a check valve to the vacuum pump to stop oil from getting into the lines.
