After finding water where it doesn't belong and why this problem should be solved. It's worth archiving as surely this can happen but isn't something most would be looking for, Tom Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 4, 2008, 2:55 AM Post #3 of 3 (2394 views) Re: Power Brake Booster Sign In http://autoforums.carjunky.com/...f-350_brakes_P19142/ <<<< that should link to the original thread on this, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
