Hydra-Boost
I was wondering if you guys know where I can get a Hydra-Boost(edit for spelling). Someone stole the one out of my 1 Ton 454 truck. They even took the powersteering pump.
 I can't seem to find one out here. Thanks guys. |

Re: Hydra-Boost
No local salvage yards out there? That would be the only place I can think of that you could get everything at one place for a decent price.

Re: Hydra-Boost
if it had hydraboost brakes, chances are it had a diesel in it from the factory...if it doesn't have a diesel anymore, I don't see why you would need hydraboost brakes...someone correct me if I'm wrong

Re: Hydra-Boost
well, like the diesel if it came with the hydraboost brakes because of the 454 and no longer has the 454, is the hydraboost needed...

Re: Hydra-Boost
I think it has more to do with the tonnage. I thought most 1 ton's came with hydra boost to help with heaver loads. at any rate. I would look some for a hydra boost first as I think it would be easier to just bolt in then buy and convert to a PB set up. I would imagine you would loose some braking performance......?

Re: Hydra-Boost
I'm thinking Astros had it too, check to see if anything in the yard has a 350 diesel in it,altho the powersteering pump is different.

Re: Hydra-Boost
You can buy reman ones just about anywhere. Don't waste your time putting on a used one. Its too much work just to find out it does not work and have to take it back. We sell reman ones from Cardone for just over $150.00 with a warrantee so that will give you an idea on price
Depends on the bracket that is on your truck they used two of them Last edited by mbgmike; 12-15-2009 at 09:21 PM. |
