    I just finished bleeding my brakes.....everything worked fine until I ended up back home....let the truck idle for a bit, put it in park....stepped on the brake to pump it a few times and my truck sounds like the truck is gonna die andthe lights flicker....any clue of what it could be?

    Vacuum leak? The only thing with the brake system that I can think of that would affect the idle would be the brake booster...

    Yeah I covered the vacuum hose connected to the brake booster with my finger and it ran just fine...yeah I believe the brake booster went out...thanks for the help.

    All that pumping you were doing probably finished the diaphragm off inside the booster...easy fix.
