Electric Vacuum pump vs Hydro-boost swap
Hey y'all, Just had my third mechanical vacuum pump die on me, so I've decided to replace it with something else. I could go with the electric pump route, just plumbing into my existing lines; or run a hydro-boost setup. I've done a hydro-boost conversion before, albeit on an old bronco; but I...- John_piv

Recently while towing a loaded a trailer I came off the freeway off-ramp to find out my power assist brakes were not working.

Newer hydroboost on older truck swap
Anybody used the 1999 or newer hydroboost on the 97 and older trucks.
