Did some searching and I can't find anything. I'm getting "Service Brake Booster" pop up on my display. Truck is a 2003 yukon denali. Problem is I have hydraulic brakes on the truck with no booster. I feel like I read somewhere I can bypass something to clear this message. Any ideas?

As @SnowDrifter noted, it would be helpful to have some history. How long have you had it; has any work been done on the truck lately, etc.?

What code is being set to display the brake booster message?

I've only had the truck since October. Haven't had a chance to get it on a code reader yet. But other then wheels and tires that were on it when I bought it no mods have been done. I've noticed it has some electrical issues I've been trying to work through but it's a pain lol

Gotta check your grounds, especially if you're in a salty state.

Get the code reader out (or purchase one), and post the codes that you see. Without the codes and some additional information on your truck, we are simply groping in the dark, and that is not helpful to you.

Well, like @exp500 said, could be something as simple as flushing the power steering fluid. You said "no booster" but you either have vacuum boost or hydro-boost and I am assuming hydro-boost. Have you checked the brake fluid level in the master cylinder? Flush brake fluid too.
