Re: Brake issue
Got my re-man booster installed. Haven't taken the truck out for a drive yet because the passenger door is all apart, but did back it out the driveway and drove it back into the shop. The pedal feel is totally different now. Better than ever. I suspect the old booster had a small crack in the diaphragm that grew over the years. So I've probably been driving around for who knows how long with a leak!
This retainer clip and wave washer were a bear to install! Actually that's a "before" photo. I got the clip back in with a flat washer, but not the wave washer. Not sure if I'm flirting with disaster, but I will get that wave washer installed some day soon. Also looking to use a shoulder bolt if I can find one with the right dimensions.
