Check your RWAL dump valve or 4WABS diverter valve, probably bypassing.

We did it the old fashion way! $500 in like 2 weeks ! For all the brake related stuff! What do you think the chances of the reman booster being bad? I would hate to think that was it! Thanks

my pedal go down a ways to but there is no booster on my truck. the brake pressure comes from the power steering pump.the brakes pedal can be adjusted by the back brakes. that will put the pedal up were its good for u good luck.
