Re: brake booster

Most of the time you'll hear it hissing in the cab, and you won't have power brakes.

Re: brake booster

u can tell when it takes a shit load to stop your truck, trust me ud kno if ur booster was bad. the brakes would be the same as if ur car was off, by that i mean how hard it is to apply the brakes
