Can you adjust to Pacific time? I am tired of having to make the mental calculations for Central Time! I want you to do the work for me!

From now on, I EXPECT you to do those calculations ahead of time - or you will be punished. Oh wait, you are already at work.

Hydroboost uses pressurized power steering fluid to compless a nitrogen cylinder to provide power assist for your brakes instead of vacuum. It provides more assist than vacuum. I converted my other truck to it and love it. It locks up my 4 wheel discs with 36 inch tires at the drop of a hat! They each have drawbacks (hydroboost vs vacuum) but I would take hydroboost over vacuum. My vacuum booster is starting to go anyway. I get in the truck after a half hour and the pedal is hard.

Seeing as how I onone extremely tight skate, I do not know what Baer Brakes and stainless likes feel like together! I have stainless on my other truck, so that is as close as I can get to it. I would do this before ANY other brake upgrade to my truck.
