I was wondering if i could pick your brain and experience on a Toyota Tundra 2010 with 200,000 miles on it. My son lives in Alaska and he is trying to fix this himself. The brakes are not up to par. They feel like they maybe a little spongy in them and maybe have to push a little harder than normal. Its been a while since we have talked about it so i hope i am still accurately describing it. He has all good rotors on it and pads. He just changed the master cylinder and all of the brake hoses. There are 6 hoses and used the steel braided ones. Bleed all the brakes numerous times. We now think it could be the brake booster but im not there so i dont know if it is. He took it to Toyota and they checked the thing out and blead all the brakes again. They say it is the antilock brake valve but wont guarantee it is at $3000. Could it be the brake booster? That he could change himself but would like to fix it rather than keep guessing.He hears no hissing of vacum and it sure does sounds like an old ford i had and the booster fixed it. What do you guys think? He still drives it but does pull a camper with it and we both want a 100% brakes.
