And also if have a 2001 2wd Silverado 1500 extended cab, is that something I match on the parts I take off? Such as another 2wd truck or is there a difference in the 2wd and 4wd applications? I also have a rack and pinion instead of steering gear box.

The hydroboost swap honestly isn't all that hard and well worth the effort in my opinion. Hardest part is pressing pulleys on/off the pump to swap it and even that really isn't that bad. My truck with all the upgrades I listed earlier weighs over 5200 lbs and will easily out brake my 89 trans ams factory 4 wheel disks lol.
As for the 2wd to 4wd parts interchanging all the brakes themselves, the power steering pump, and the booster assembly should all swap over. Only different thing I would think would be the power steering hoses themselves being different for rack vs box. But I'm not 100% positive since I've never compared them myself. |
I have the snap on set to pull of those pulleys, but all hydro boost systems I've seen have been with a gear box instead of a rack so I'll have to look into but I still should see a big increase in braking with the upgrade brakes and no hydro boost though right?
|
I would imagine you would
|
The brake lines would match too? I was thinking about getting steel beaded lines so I guess I will see. so I should get 2005 Silverado 1500 front calipers and Denali 2005 or a suburban rear calipers?
|
I don't know for certain if the brake lines themselves are the same but I imagine they would be. I ordered braided stainless for my truck and they went right on the calipers I swapped in.
Get the front calipers for a truck with rear drums. The 4 wheel disk trucks use the same calipers as the older ones. As for the rears I got them for a 2005 4wd Tahoe. Never really researched or compared the different rear set ups so I can't really comment there |
Do you have a part number or the link to the brake lines? I'll have to look into that
|
The PS pump does not have to be swapped or removed to do hydroboost install
|
Ah yes. He is correct. Forgot about that. You can just "T" the return lines as well.
As for part number on the hoses I don't remember. I just called summit and ordered them. |
Ok I've read this and got on car-parts.com and im pretty sure i could do this conversation for way less then 400 bucks. Yes there used parts but come one there not something needing changed often. Considering the price i could replace them a couple times compared to buying new. And what's the chances? But im a cheap basterd!
