Ram 1500 Power Brake Boosters

A brake booster is a device that helps to reduce the force required to stop a vehicle. Activated by the master cylinder, the brake booster multiplies the pressure applied by the driver on the brake pedal. There are two main types of boosters: vacuum-operated and hydraulic brake boosters. The former, originally introduced in 1927, exploit the pressure difference between the external atmosphere and partial vacuum obtained by sucking air out from a vacuum chamber. The latter apply hydraulic pressure for pushing brake fluid in lines and hoses. Vacuum-operated boosters are used in gasoline autos, while diesel vehicles are equipped with hydraulic boosters.

Common symptoms of a malfunctioning brake booster are an excessive effort needed to engage the brake pedal, feeling it spongy, or even complete failure of the braking action; the latter is the worst possible case.
