Hydroboost isssue
#1
I got the booster all installed and instead of getting a new p/s pump I tee'd the line in after the cooler right before the pump.
I drove it about a week with no problems, but then yesterday the truck started pulling real bad to the right when I got on the brakes, and when I stopped I had smoke pouring outa the left front wheel, along with the obvious clicking of hot metal. The wheel was very hot to the touch. After inspecting all the brakes/wheels both backs were fine, but both front rims were hot and covered in brake dust. I'm wondering if the hydrobooster is keeping brake pressure on the brakes, but it does not seam to be effecting the rears. I did replace both rear calipers last year, so maybe the fronts being old, and the added line pressure of the hydrobooster is causing the fronts to stick?
