Re: Too much travel before brake booster kicks in?
I adjusted the rears by hand until they just started to drag and then backed them off a click. I tried hitting them hard in reverse, didn't seem to affect anything. The star wheels, springs, and linkages in the rear are all new and seem to be working. If it was a brake adjustment issue shouldn't I have the same problem when the truck isn't running?
I went back out and checked the brakes, and with the truck not running the pedal felt pretty firm and only had 1-2" of travel. Started the truck up, the pedal went to the floor again. A friend of mine said he had a truck do something similar and it turned out to be the brake booster, although I don't see how that could be my issue? I can put a vacuum gauge on the booster and check for leaks, is there any other way they can go bad?
