    i think I might need a new brake booster. An oem one is $800!

    What are you guys running for replacements and what did you pay?

    Brakes work great but I am getting a squeaking or a rubbing when I push the pedal in. I hit all the external stuff with white lithium and no change. It seems like it's coming from the pushrod going into the booster.

    Right now it's just annoying me.

    Truck has 110k miles and is otherwise a cream puff.

    @95Taco80, were you able to determine anything?

    @Clearwater Bill - the booster is working ok, I have no issues with the brakes in terms of stopping power...I just get this squeaking or creaking when I depress the pedal that is (1) annoying, and (2) possibly a precursor of the booster beginning to fail.
    I pulled back the rubber boot on the part of the booster that is visible through the cabin side of the firewall. I shot some white lithium in there, around the pushrod and the piston. Let's see what happens.

    Just to close this loop...Looks like the white lithium did the trick!
    Now I can go buy new shocks instead
