I don't seem to have that "coffee can".
Will inspect lines and fittings but brake booster looks pretty nasty, bottom is rusted badly. And I can hear that "hiss" when brake pedal is depressed. Brakes work just fine though.

can't say Josh, i don't hit the brake pedal until after the truck is running. most of the time i use the remote start before leaving the house.

the systems are designed to provide all necessary braking vacuum to brake system even if the accessory's (heat and AC controls) vacuum line is removed or damaged, rotted ect. its not (new), it needs inspection, cuz critters eat weird stuff..
