Can you lock up your brakes? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yep that's right I locked up my brakes on my Blazer today!

I installed a new brake booster from a 1971-1972 3/4 ton and man I can not believe what a difference the new booster made. I got the booster from Napa Auto parts and it cost me $113. This has got to be the best performance boost that we can get on our Blazers for just over $100.

I just unbolted the old and bolted on the new. It sticks a little further out than the old one since it has a larger canister but that is it. I was a little concerned that because the push rod was quite a bit shorter on the new booster, but the parts store was closed so I thought what the heck. I installed it anyway and fired her up. Works like a Charm!
