without booster assistanc, I mean none, unexpectedly coming up to a stop sign, pedal goes to the floor, you **** your pants, but the truck will slowly stop, however your fear of the outcome and stomp stomp stomp on it. I blew a line at the same time and went through the stop sign of a major road, with 4 ways on, no one coming, phew. clean the **** out of my pants. discover an empty master for the front brakes. pinch the line with vice grips, fill the master up, test and proceed. I had my entire family in the truck. after every stop I pulled over and topped the MC back up because vice grips wont actually close the line off completely.
Iv been over the brake lines many times but for some reason I never traced the front passanger line and it was rotten sitting on top of the front frame hidden above the plastic splash guard shroud. this spot is terrible for a visual inspection but that plate comes off very easily. I re-routed this line slightly so it didnt sit right on that frame and took a slightly different route to the caliper.
so with a failed booster you will still have brakes but it seems to come at the end of the peddle travel.
I was lucky that I'm not the kind of person to fly up on a stop sign or lights and smash the brakes at the last second. I'm more of the annoying kind who let's of the gas way before and let's the engine brake slow the truck down before activating the brakes.
