    brake vaccume booster

    they don't seem to list one for an 87 GMC, I just want to buy a reliable replacement and not have to screw around. I was hoping someone would chime in with their experiences with a good option

    Different brake codes?

    it could be the threads if you replaced the bolt. check out the specs between jb1 and jb3 systems might be a difference in brake diameter which you can measure to find out. I had a wheel cylinder that had the wrong bleeder and the threads would not tighten up. todays junk parts!

    yes. that stud should register 13 to 13.5 volts, if not your alternator is starting to fail
