Yea I had to do the same thing

 

ok, just making sure i wasn't missing something simple, i didn't see anyone else mention having to do this in this thread.

thanks for the quick response!

 

I had to trim mine.

 

yeah, i trimmed mine too, everything is done now just have to bleed the brakes...hopefully the ABS module wont give me too much hell...

 

What all vehicles do the hydroboost setups come in? Weren't they on late model Astros and such?

 

anybody have an extra pump to booster hose?

 

Just picked up hydroboost parts for $120!

 

Sweet!

I think its a worthwhile swap. I put all used stuff on mine and it's working perfectly.

 

This write up was unbelievably helpful, thanks so much.

I just finished this swap in about 4 hours after my trip to the JY. I got my hydroboost and ps pump from a member on here, the pedal from the JY, and since the dipshits junkyards all around this area cut all the lines when they pull motors, I got my pressure lines from Oreillys. I hear what you're saying about big shoulders swapping out that pedal, it was definitely a PITA. All else went very smoothly, with a little adjustment to the pressure lines.

Pump and Hydroboost- $100
Pedal- $20
Pump to Boost line- $22 part number 91984
Boost to Gearbox line- $24 part number 92082
Vacuum plug- had something in the shop made it work

The best sub $200 modification i have made to my truck to date. Stops on a dime. Only question, how do you get the "service brake booster" message to turn off? I know that harness had to be unplugged from the old booster but what do I do with it?

 

Like I said in the pm, I never got that message when I left it unplugged...
