Strange braking issue
So, there are no noises from the front end, or rear end, but when coming to a real slow stop, I can let off the brake and the truck will stop for me, as if I'm braking really soft. I can even hear the brake groan right as it stops. I jacked up all four corners of the truck, and all the tires seem to spin with the same resistance. Also food for thought, I know have the brake and ABS light come on and off intermittently. Could this all be tied to a bad front wheel hub??? A buddy of mine said it could be my U-joints too. Any ideas?
I'm still getting over 19mpg, so the drag can't be that bad

A very quick check that may help...Unhook the top hose going to the hydroboost. It probably has a weight on it. If you unscrew it, pull it gently. If it slides back revealing a teflon inner liner, you found the problem. My 08 did the exact same, then it got worse.
Dealer had a new OEM line the next day for about $90. 10 minute fix. Lost a dab of power steering fluid, but not very much.
