I figure this post was okay here do it being 4th gen specific, If not Mods please delete.

I think...

Just picked up the 2007 Limited V6. It was doing this during my test drive and allowed me a negotiate a lower price. I am having problem and in the manual i downloaded i cant find this specific part. As you can see in the Video below, the Compressor or pump (Gold mechanism)) seems to be on a constant cycle. I think it is the break booster that should cycle when pressure is needed... but not every 5 seconds.

Any clue to what the part is?
Better question - Any clue on what the solution is?

It doesn't seem to be the Master cylinder as in what i believe to me the master assembly in the white item in the picture.



Rather the Gold cylinder to the left is whats making the noise and cycling. IN the second video (in the Cab) the truck is at idol. I am assuming the in cabin noise is the same as the cycle. I am not as big of a mechanical Newb as I sound here I swear. Thanks for the help guys.

The brakes are hydraulic on our trucks and that cylinder us boosting the pressure. Either you have a leak, which you would figure out quick, or something in that assembly is going bad.

Yes, I do understand. Pressure seems to be fine. I don't feel a change in pressure to kick on the booster. For example, i would assume that after a few hard slams on the brake pedal it would kick on and not on a continue cycle that makes me think the control unit is acting up.
