installed my factory power brake booster today
I installed my factory brake booster today and WOW what a difference! I put power steering on my 6 cylinder truck 20 years ago and that made a huge difference also. I wish I had done this years ago!!
It didn't take long an hour or two at most, and most of the time was cleaning everything up ( bolt heads and the aluminum bracket, etc. )

Re: installed my factory power brake booster today
Nice truck! So it looks like you still have drums all around?
This might be something I could do until I install my front discs next year. Is that a 292? |

Re: installed my factory power brake booster today
Awesome, looks great! This is something I am considering also. Any plans on going to a dual res master cylinder with split lines?

Re: installed my factory power brake booster today
Was thinking the 6 hole disk ( as mentioned above ) and considering the dual master cylinder and split lines, but I am very happy with it right now... power made a huge difference

Re: installed my factory power brake booster today
If you don't mind me asking how much do you have into the booster project and are the parts easily available?
Thanks! |
