Not ABS correct? (not sure if that changes things dramatically but I want no surprises & I dont know that system). any recent brake work/parts changed? Just one day it went to the floor? (1) "bench" bleed the MC on the vehicle (put a block under the pedal to keep pedal travel to it's normal range that it (worn bore length area) is used to by guestimating normal pedal height when depressed & be conservative). (2) reconnect 2 MC lines & bleed all 4 corners. if still bad then rebuild/purchase a new/rebuilt MC
live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

my '06 has hydro boost. is that because it's a cummins with a turbo and isn't always under manifold vaccum? (is yours a hydroboost?)
No idea what hydroboost feels like when it goes bad. does a lack of pressure from the Power Steering pump cause a hard or soft pedal? (I guess I need to go out and pump my brakes with the engine off to see what happens...haven't done that yet, I just assumed it was like any other brake system where the pedal gets hard due to loss of power assist)
my first guess would be that something went out in the master, maybe a seal on the piston or the bore has corrosion and the fluid is bypassing?
