K30 brake booster - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dwaynes56&68 · 05-16-2004, 05:10 PM

I recieved a hydraboost brake setup when I bought my Dana 60. I want to install this on my 78. I did not recieve the lines that attach it to the power steering pump. Can someone provide me a diagram of were the hoses attach and in what order. Also, I tend to overheat my power steering when I go play on the dunes, would adding a tranny cooler to the low pressure return help? Thanks for any help.

I shot over to the local pick a part and scored a complete hose set for a hydra boost for 15 bucks. Was pretty easy to hook up once I got a look at it. Let me tell you what, this swap was well worth it. I have way more braking power then before. The brake has feel the second you touch them, before they felt mushy at idle . I give this a thumbs up as far as cheap easy swaps.

yea a few more hoses, but I can deal with it. I think I need more because its time to explore the Hydralic clutch thing.
