open the glove box and remove it behind it is a black box for the ABS unplug it and that will be alot better braking as far as the air leak idk

i disconected the box and found another reason to love this truck it stops alot better now and the abs light is off (parking brake is still on though :-( im not sure wahts up with that) i love how you can just disconnect **** and turn a few screws and a little fine tuning and BAM you got urself a nice little diesel hot rod and its free thats the best part thanks big bad diesel

The air leak might be your vacuum booster leaking into the cab.

the stacks were take off of our pete when we put straights but it cost about 500 for pipe to go from the turbo back. i went to a "Truck Parts" store and put my own kit together. had to make my own 5in down pipe though
