This issue started last winter, but I of course forgot about it until it started getting cold again, and it seems to happen more frequently/easily.
When the truck is first started in below freezing temps it acts like there is no brake assistance. The pedal drops at least halfway and then they start to work. After a few mins the brakes feel normal again. Takes longer to come around if its colder.
I'm leaning towards the booster, but maybe its the check valve? Or something else that I'm missing?
The master was replaced a couple of years ago when I add cruise so I don't think that's the issue, and I'm not losing any fluid.
Any input is appreciated
