Problem solved.......maybe

Well I think that I have finally found the problems. What was really confusing was that I had two seperate issues I was looking at and thought it was only one.
It seems that my brake light is caused by the booster. It must have a small leak some place that looses the vacuum if the RPM's are low, and that would explain why my light goes off when the vacuum pump is detached and the hose is capped.
Could this somehow cause the fading pedal as well? I thought if the booster was going out, the pedal would become harder, and not want to sink.
So, assuming that it is my vacuum booster is this a failure risk problem? I am going to be traveling soon with my truck and want to know if this is an at risk part or if this is part that will slowly fail.
thanks
