When the vacuum pump quits your brake pedal will become harder to push and you truck won't stop unless you have both feet on the brake pedal.

If this happens during an emergency stop you will need to purchase new underwear along with the vacuum pump.LOL

Buncha truth there... Lost mine pulling up to a weigh scale dragging a 32' 16,000lb 5'er. Quick thinking & good trailer brakes w/ manual activation saved the day.
