    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    I am liking the bench seat, nice work. I think I may look at a 60/40 split that can recline and fold forward with heat. That could work in my 09.

    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    Thanks for checking up Rick. Yup, I finally figured it out (I'm slow, but I get there!), buttoned it up and CAREFULLY tested the final product. And low and behold, she stops just fine !! I did manage to accidentally overfill the PS reservoir, but I corrected that and now all is good. Now if...

    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    OK, slow but sure. I have attached a few pics to document this. I cold not find this mentioned, so maybe it belongs in a sticky or something, or maybe it's just common knowledge, except when it comes to my knowledge. Anyway, you do need to break open the old booster. I could see no other...

    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    OK, NO JOY as far as brakes go. I started her up, let her run for a bit, pumped the peddle a bit (nothing) shut her off, checked fluid levels then fired her back up again. The peddle won't return if I push it and there is ZERO resistance. What the heck did I do wrong? No one thing I did...

    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    HUGE THANKS !! It's out, now I just have to figure out how to get that HUGE! nut off the old booster so I can reuse that plate. I guess a hammer and chisel will work, but what a pain in the *ss !!

    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    OK, got everything disconnected from the brake booster itself. She is disconnected from the pedal inside the truck and the brake fluid reservoir, brake lines, etc are all removed. I then removed the 4 15mm nuts inside the engine compartment holding that big metal mounting plate to the...
