Thanks! We have to optimize space in these that's for sure.

Had my Brake Booster fail. Symptoms include AFR/Boost gauge pegs to max lean when brake pedal is pushed (indicating vacuum leak), severe "whoosh" sound from under my feet when brake pedal is applied (further indicating vacuum leak), and what was the other thing? Oh yeah right right: it takes approximately 4.8 miles to stop the damn truck and requires the right quadricep power of an NFL all-star linebacker.
Turns out OEM booster aren't available for a 24 year old truck. Had to go aftermarket. Amazon to the rescue.
Installed it tonight in about an hour and half and drove around the block. I almost knocked my teeth out on the steering wheel during the first stop, holy moly is it better. The hair medal band Cinderella got it right when they said "you don't know what you got til it's gone."
Tip for others is that it didn't come with new gaskets for firewall/master cylinder. Those are still available from Toyota. I didn't have time to wait so I just used some RTV pretty thick. It's really just for dust and dirt, but it's important to stay diligent.
