    At slow speeds I get a whistle when I press the brake petal. I also get a whistle when I let off the brake petal. The noise seems to be coming from the front half of the truck, and best I can tell from the driver's seat is the noise is coming from under the truck.

    I suspect the noise is a vacuum leak of sorts and associated with the brake booster. I have not confirmed this.

    I've searched the best I can and cannot find a similar problem that also includes a final result. Any help is appreciated.

    Gonna have to get under the hood and check the brake booster vacuum line and booster. Brakes acting normally? Definitely a whistle and not a screech from low brake pad indicator?
