The truck belongs to my brother-in-law in Crescent City, Ca. The truck is a 2002 Quad Cab, 4x4, automatic transmission with approximately 170,000 miles on the truck. Every thing is stock.
The problem: After about every 20 or 30 brake applications the brake pedal gets hard and there is no power assist. As soon as he releases the pedal, everything is back to normal. He took the truck to a shop. The guy who runs the shop is a very knowledgeable man and his business has an excellent reputation.. He asked if the power steering worked when the event occurred. My brother-in-law said that he didn't notice anything with the steering, but his focus was on stopping the truck.. The shop could not make the event re-occur. No codes were set. After discussion between the shop owner and my brother-in-law, it was determined to replace the hydra-boost with a remanufactured one.
On the first long trip after the repair, the same event occurred twice again. This time my brother-in-law did not release the brake pedal until after he tested the steering to see if the power steering was working normally. It was.
Any ideas on the cause?
