Ur differential"pumpkin" has nothing to do with ur breaks.
That's pop might have been ur little girl pushing the parking
brake and then releasing it, and just for safety check the
brake booster, while the truck is off, pump the pedal, if it gets
stiff then good, it the pedal keeps being "spongy" then bad.
Turn the truck o and see if the pedal depresses to the floor,
then good, if it stays stiff then bad.

my little girl can not reach my e-brake because the
e-brake is next to the pedals on my truck and is on
the drivers side by my door so it could not have
been that

If you've got fluid under the back at the pumpkin coukd be the flexible brake line to the rear brakes blew out.

Oh yea the brake lines do run there, true. They should be on
top I believe, they round around behind the fuel tank too.
Good sh*t daddio. Lol I would have never thought of that.
