Did you replace the rubber lines? Ideally SS braided lines, but even new rubber lines would help if you still have the original lines.

I was thinking that too if it was losing the pressure that's giving it the firm pedal feel.

I'm pretty sure my entire brake system could use being completely redone, booster, master cylinder, replace the rubber lines with braided stainless steel lines, and new discs pads calipers and all the goodies for the rear drums too. although I'd prefer swapping out my rear axle for another 9.75 that has disc brakes instead.

I did not replace any lines. I think I'll take it to a brake place and have them look at it before I replace everything lol.

Went out to the truck this afternoon during a rainstorm. Went to start it, and my odometer was on. I turned the key over and the theft light didn't come on like all the other lights do. Would crank, but wouldn't fire.
Tried jumping it, that didn't work. Took battery out and took it to O'Reilly's. It's only 6 months old so they warrantied it.
Put new battery back in my truck and my all my gauges go into this odd calibration-type mode. I can also here something inside the cab under the steering column making a very fast clicking noise that's hard to describe. Almost like a relay turning on and off many times per second. It also sounds like something shorting out, but cannot smell or see anything to indicate that.

Left it unplugged tonight, going to look at it in the daytime and possibly tow it back home (i'm in college). Let you know what I find.

Check all your grounds. Wet weather will increase resistance is they are loose or corroded.

Washed and waxed, oil changed, and rotated the tires.
