Brake failure
Hey all, my brake booster is leaking in the back (filled with fluid) and it's leaking from the master cylinder. I was looking for a new booster and master cylinder, I'm finding there is a 1inch and 3/4" sizes? What one should I get? This is a 91 W250 with a 4500 front end (dana 60).
just my luck [duhhh] |
Neither, it's 1 1/8".
|
Anyone have a link or partnumber? The check valve is 3/4" and 1" is what I was talking about. It looks like what I have, I was planning to get rear disc brakes at some point so I don't know if I should go with a universal setup or stick with the stock.
|
I think I have a 3/4" check valve, will have to look tonight.
This looks like a good deal, although I never heard of cardone before http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...___#fragment-2 :conf: Good brand? |
Cardone is garbage. Hate all their products, Used them all with horrbile results. LOL.
I usually buy Bendix or good name brand stuff off rockauto.com and just wait for it to get here. |
Yeah, I might go with the centric brand, they make good stuff and are a branch from stoptech.
|
I wouldnt cheap out on parts! I installed two rebuilt masters, and got two bad ones in a row. Finally put in a new one and the brakes are as good as they've ever been.
|
Bumping this back up, I'm having a hard time finding a brake booster. They're all A1-cardone crap.. I did find a few centric boosters but they have many different numbers. The only difference I can tell is the check valve is bigger. What does the check valve do? Would a 1inch give better performance to a 3/4"?

i am pretty sure A1Cardone is the only one re-manufacturing the boosters and A-lock valves. I cannot find anyone else...Mark |

If you scroll down here; There are a bunch of centric's http://www.drivewire.com/vehicle/199...brake-booster/ I've been using Centric rotors/pads for awhile and they're really nice! Although I don't know what one to get. |

Just got off the phone with them. This is how it works.. you pull the brake booster out and on that push rod there is a code on it. Keep in mind that if the brake booster is not stock this might not work[coffee]
Rod Code(s) 13849 14177 Centric Part# - 160.80.244 Rod Code(s) 13851 14180 Centric Part# -160.80.245 Rode Code 1" 14180 Centric Part# -160.80.250 If the rod code matches the above, then the booster you need is the part number below. Awesome! Looks like I have some work to do haha[guitar] Also this was for a 91 W250 but apparently those codes are what was used on the assembly line. They will work with a D250 as well as long as it's 1st gen series. If the code is different, give them a call (626.961.5775) |
is the centric MC...looks new...Mark

Sweet! I should be ready to rock once I find out what booster I have. I'll let you all know how it brakes!
