OK, so I changed out the stock '94 booster and master with a stock 2000 booster and master setup. I also replaced the old vacuum hose at this time.
Everything bled out OK after the swap and I adjusted the rear brakes while I was at it since the e-brake needed to be pulled all the way and then some to engage.
The first booster I had in was bad. You could hear it hissing in the cab, and it would then get the rock hard pedal.
I swapped in another booster, a re-manufactured one from AutoZone. I now get the hard pedal and brakes clenching up (eventually locking up) about once a day. If I pull the master from the booster I can hear the vacuum break and then the system works fine for another day.
I have replaced the check valve, it had a leak when you blew into it slowly. But the problem still persists.
So did I get a lemon of a booster, or could there be something else wrong?
