Re: Vacuum issues - help me gents

I put in a 1 ton too. Got it a while back in the yard. Works good. I've considered hydro-boost, but abandoned the idea. Just more hoses to leak and when your power steering pump takes a dump you loose your brakes. Another way to decrease brake effort is to get a master cylinder with a smaller bore. That's right a smaller bore increases brake pressure and reduces effort.
Well at least you fixed your vacuum leak. Another good way to check for vacuum leaks is by squirting water. Works like a can of carb cleaner, but makes a nice slurping sound when you find the leak and it makes the engine rpm drop when sucked in.
