    (Sorry Long)
    I have a 2005 Taco 4X4 V6 TRD Off Road Access Cab.
    One day I got mad (another long story) and hit my brakes hard and felt a pop or something give, now my brake pedal goes to the floor and lost a lot of stopping power, I can still stop but not on a dime. Pads are good! Me and my father bleed the brakes all around, but we noticed that the brake fluid pressure was weak it just trickled out didn't piss a good heavy flow like it should. So I put a new master cylinder on bleed it right, but when we go to bleed the lines the flow is still weak and pedal is the same! There are no leaks that I can see and resivour never gets lower! Idk what it is, one guy thinks it's the abs hydraulic control unit wich I hope not toyota dealer says $1089 for it want to puke if so! Another person thinks maybe I bent the pedal or messed up the clearance on the booster rod operating adapter (pushrod) but idk if it's with or without vsc trac or what or how to check, any help or advice will be greatly appreciated

    Don't mind my silly question but the popping noise makes me wonder -- is the vacuum line still attached to the brake booster?

    Check the linkage under the dash and the pedal arm to see if something is broken like the push-rod or pedal arm etc...

    Nothing looks broke to my eye, anyone know what my pedal height should be and where to measure from?

    While stopped does the pedal slowly go to the floor?

    When the truck is off I can pump up the brakes and they stiffen up but I can still put it to the floor with lil force, when the truck is on the pedal goes to the floor super easy and they don't pump up or build

    After you get it fixed maybe look into anger management classes so this doesn't happen again?

    Have you pulled the rear drums and inspected the shoes? I suspect you have a bent brake shoe web, cracked drum, or some other issue within the rear brakes.

The other half of the linkage broke. I don't know why they only welded half way around it. My buddy is goin to weld it back up and hopfully that fixes the problem, I will post outcome!
