Hydroboost

So I have my 2000 F250 in the shop because I was feeling a funny vibration in my brake pedal. (isn't warped rotors, I know what that feels like). It also felt like the brakes were on, then would release a little, lengthening my stopping distance.


I took it to a small local shop and the guy said it sounds like the hydroboost. I told them to fix it. Next day, before they start to fix, they call and say they can't guarantee it's the hydroboost and may be the Power Steering pump.


My question is; is there a way to test it to know for sure which part is failing? How do I figure out which one is causing the problem?


Thanks!

Sounds like it may be sticking slide pins in the calipers, but I am no expert.
