Umm Guys, a little correction is needed here. Not that I give a chit. But just to make it sound like You know what Your talking about.

It's hydrOboost, not hydrAboost.

Hydra is a mythical, multi headed beast. Hydro is Fluid Driven.

So unless You have a Mythical Beast under the hood operating Your brakes......

After changing over to hydroboost, he's probably going to think he's got a mythical beast operating his brakes.....

Well i finally had time to install the (HYRDOBOOST) well everything went pretty much smothly up intill i had to bore out a bit of the slots were the two bolts to the brake master cylinder and then i still went the easy route n "T" of the return house with a brass t fitting ...filled the pump up with fluid... and there is a diffenent differece! cant wait to try it out when i start towing.

Oh and for the member that asked about the bumper im not sure what kind it is because it came with the truck when i bought it. but if i get a chance ill try and post a few more pixs tommorow.

You had to drill the holes in the master cylinder?

Mine was a direct bolt on, plenty of room.

With your truck being newer I would have figured it should swap right in easier than mine did.

lol ...yeah me too ... i put everything back and went to go to slide the master cylinder in to the hydroboost and it just wouldnt go in thats when i realized that the bolts coming from the hydroboost were just a bit apart from were the orginals were at... not a biggie though got my drill drilled it out to make it work ...

And yes it takes a lot less push to get the truck to a hualt! seems firmer too

Yeps, same here, only I used a Dremel tool to hog them holes out a bit.
