    Disconnect the vacuum line going to the brake booster, plug the line, start the truck, turn it off and if the hissing sound is not there it is the brake booster.
    I would reconnect and start it again to see if it comes back.
    If it is still hissing after disconnecting the vacuum line going to the booster then it is not the brake booster.

    Unfortunately, I’m not joking. Kind of hard to tell when your fuel sender isn’t working right. I filled it with gas and it sputtered to life.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    You know I always found it strange that we call rust damage cancer, cancer is an overgrowth of cells, if anything rust is more akin to leprosy. And apparently it's pretty advanced leprosy on @JKO1998 truck
