5.4, brake pedal goes to the floor, with a whoosh sound, with engine running?
 
Pedal is firm, when engine is off. I have good fluid levels in master cylinder and nothing on the truck has been messed with in months. Truck ran fine 2 days ago, but started it yesterday and brake pedal, now goes to the floor. I checked the fluid level and its fine. Is this a brake booster problem or an ABS problem? I don't remember seeing any brake warning lights and the fluid level looks good.

I have been told, a bad booster will not cause the pedal to go to the floor, but I don't know??? I would greatly appreciate some help from one of you truck guru's... :)
Thanks guys!

Has anyone ever suggested posting your year, model, chassis and fuel type in your questions here?

Inspect the inside of all the wheels and underbody for signs of brake fluid leaking. A tiny leak will cause the low pedal and still take a while to lose a noticeable amount of brake fluid.
