Hydro-Boost Re-man or OEM?
It looks like I may have lost my HydroBooster and was curious on what your thoughst are with reman systems. I'm not a fan of them but $160 vs $320.

Haven't had to replace one, but is there a 3rd option? Perhaps aftermarket brand new, not rebuilt?
If the rebuilt hydroboosts are anything like rebuilt alternators and starters, I'd go with new, even for double the money. |
Those were also questions that I had in my pea size brain.
4th option, local junkyard but its not a pick and pull and they are very happy about their hefty prices. Have not called yet. |

So I wanted to update this post. Every one (not here) kept telling me that I needed a new hydro boost to fix my power brakes when they test drove the truck, but I didn't buy it. It didn't have the symptoms of a bad hydro boost. Unfortunately through all this I do feel like an idiot, I had the power steering pressure line and the power brake pressure line crossed at the hydro boost. When I originally put it all back together I had it correct but the new line was leaking so bad and didn't have that snug feel when tightening it up so I though "well maybe I have the lines crossed" swapped them over no more leak and snugged up nicely but in return I had no brakes. It turned out that the line I got from the auto part store was wrong and put the new one on to no avail. When I was going through all my pictures today I notice a difference in length on the hard line going into the rubber line and realized I never swapped them back over. Now I have awesome brakes! :-X22 I was real close into changing out the hydro boost and a couple of you guys asked to do a right up with pics on it, but I'm sorry I won't be doing that. I will also update the Grinch thread.
