I put hydroboost in my truck (with stock MC). It works well but I have never had the "lock all wheels" stopping power that I expected. I also have a problem with it running very hot, causing power brake failure and no power steering. This does not happen with city driving (low rpm) but on the highway pulling a load it heats up. Loss of power does recover after a few minutes at slower speeds.
I do not have an auxiliary cooler (will add one) but I am worried why this is heating up while driving in a straight line (highway) and not using brakes. I would think everything should be cool unless there is some restriction causing back pressure.
Should I change the HB?
