Looks a lot like my install.... Yeah I like the idea of having hoses you can get from a parts store pretty much anywhere...and when I had to replace one of them last year it was a simple order. I had a bit of an issue getting the pressure line to clear the inner fender and into the steering gear, but managed to get it in place without any metal modification....but did have to trim the splash guard sheet.

As almost everyone who has done this upgrade realizes after the fact is you just don't realize how under powered and inadequate the OEM vacuum set-up is until you go to hydro-boost.

 

Until you get to the parts store and the first words out of the counter person's mouth are, "What year and make is your vehicle?" I try to find the oldest person there who has some experience helping with oddball stuff.

Spent a few hours cleaning parts, so that when the rebuild kit comes in, I can just getter done..

 

Or one that can read a book. If the parts store doesn't have books, just leave.

 

Yeah when you have a mish-mash of years, makes and models on the truck sometimes it takes a few minutes to remember what those parts originally came off of so you can order things properly.

 

Yes!!

 

What's a book? Some fancy, new-fangled thing-a-ma-bob?

 

Exactly! There are no books anymore. Even the wife's new truck doesn't have an owner's manual, it has a users guide. The owner's manual is on line and its 700 pages.

 

Yours is in your build thread right? I remember seeing it but now with the new improvements to the site it is harder to find.

And I have to say I'm liking these brakes so much I'm thinking I'm going to do this mod to my crew cab.

 

Pretty sure I wrote up a separate thread on my HB install....with all the mistakes I made and things I learned along the way.

Here it is.... https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...thread-323472/

Yeah I have a spare HB set-up for the Ramcharger when I get around to doing the cummins conversion.

 

Finished it up yesterday. Tested it with my jumper cables and a spare 12v battery, and whadda ya know ? It worked.

Whether or not it works inside the truck, I guess I'll have to wait till it stops raining to find out.

 

Saw this post today....Love it!! This is why I drive an old truck!

LOVE IT!

My best friend totaled his late model Lexus with an interstate deer encounter. I loaned him my spare rusted out, beat up '94 Camry (it was free for the hauling) until he could get a new one. He said he loved driving it - the deer ran away from him when they saw him and at 4-way stops every one would let him go first even if he arrived last...

 

I have not " LAFFFFED" till tears came to my wittle eyes ,,since " Planes , Trains & Automobiles" Thank You!!!!!

Got out and pushed around the 10 inches of powder we got in the past two days in an old 1st gen last night.
The 9 FT fisher blade made quick work of it. I got it lightly stuck for a minute but got it out by throwing a shovel full of fireplace ashes under the tires.
I should really throw my chains on the back tires for the rest of the winter.
