Does the pedal end up higher if you pump it? That is, one press
on the pedal and you say it goes down 3/4 of the way to the
floor. If you pump it 3-6 times does it get up to

Differential pressure switch in the brake proportioning valve (under the truck
somewhere) that is telling you that there is no pressure in the rear circuit --
due to the shoes not contacting the drums most likely.

In my experience, I can 'pump up' a loose drum brake mechanism, but I can't

That sucks! I guess when I get a generator, I need to put it on floats so

Any ideas what could be the issue and how much to fix it?

Kaleb,
Here is a youtube vid on how to check your vac booster. It's not a great
video, but it shows what to look for, mostly, if you have a booster that is
leaking.

We have had a wet spring here, but nothing like having the water plant flooded

When you get a chance, adjust the rear shoes and I think you will have proper

Ahhh... forget all the chatter about vac booster then. If you have
hydro boost, your brake pressure should be about 3 times as much as vac
boost and the brake system should stand you on your nose with engine
running.
Hydro boost takes hydraulic pressure from power steering pump. Which still

I might add, it has been theorized that an increase in the ice caps can add to
the angle and intensity the Earth wobbles on it's axis, increasing any effects
of the solar minimum. The magnetic poles are also decreasing in intensity and
their rates of movement. I.E. they are moving several kilome
Disks require a lot more hydraulic pressure than drums. With disks up front
and drums in the back the proportioning valve reduces pressure to the drums and
applies the drums first. I suspect the disks would get little hydraulic
pressure until pressure to the drums builds.
