    So I’ve been looking around the internet for any solutions for my 2007 Toyota tacoma having a loose pedal which doesn’t let my truck brake good, I tried getting rid of any air in brake fluid and it didn't work, I bled my brakes and it didnt work, changed the master cylinder and it didnt work, changed brake pads, did not work, and I keep looking online and there really isnt that much left to do besides getting a new truck which is something I really hope I don't have to do since I love my truck. Is there anything else I can do?

    Taking the truck to qualified shop would be much cheaper than a new truck.

    Personally, I' d make sure the system is bled correctly. To do so requires a scan tool.

    Just pay a shop. Don't buy anymore parts. It will be cheaper.

    No offense intended.

    Wasn't saying it as an insult.
    Even I break down a pay people sometimes.
    What else are you to do if you've tried everything, and have no other ideas?
    Me? I take it to someone that knows what to do.
    I make my problem, their problem. And they also get to "do it again" if it isn't fixed.

    No offense intended.

    Again. Based on your description, I'd be looking at bleeding the brakes.
    I wasn't kidding when I said you need a scan tool. You 100% need it if you have a Vacuum assist system.

    Best of luck to you.
