Hard AND squishy brakes....
This isnt a new problem its been happening since i got the truck but im just getting around to fixing it. Basically when i step on the brakes they are extremely squishy. The truck stops but when its finally stopped im pretty much all the way to the floor with the pedal. Also when i have to step on the brakes quickly they get hard as a rock and i practically have to stand on them to get the truck to stop. The truck has brand new components all the way around as well as new brake lines. It also has a new master cylinder. So basically i need the next step. I was going to replace the booster but i wanted to get some opinions first. Should i just do the booster and see if that works or should i start with something else? The only other things i can think would affect this are the vacuum pump or maybe just the vacuum hoses need to be replaced. Any ideas are appreciated.

Haaaa, I know that's right:
My vacuum pump has been going out for quite some time and it finally died a couple of months ago. I just got finished installing a new (rebuilt) one, ($120 ) and now I can stop again! No more using both feet and all my weight to bring a one ton crew cab dually to a stop. No more creaking knees and leg joints making me wonder if I'll make it the next time. No more hoping the guy that just cut me off has his affairs in order.
I'm wet, cold, and $150+ dollars poorer, (taxes and new belt too), but I can stop.
