Re: Hydro boost swap worth it?
Interesting question. I'd say it's just about a toss-up. Maybe 52/48 in favor of hydroboost. The big thing for me is whether or not you plan to tow, carry a camper, or load your truck up heavy with any regularity. If so, it could well be worth it because you're taking everything apart anyway. I don't know if there's a difference in parasitic loss between the two pumps, but I'm not inclined to add things to engine drive that aren't necessary. A brake system where the fluid is good, the hoses are good, the pads are high quality, and the shoes and drums are in good shape, I think works just fine. That said, I have hydro boost on a truck that is very similar to yours in lift and tire size and I'm glad to have it. It was a diesel truck originally though.
