- Greetings everyone! Today I finally finished my hydroboost brake install and it works great! I used CPP steering hose kit for all my lines. I also went to the junkyard to get a cheap brake booster from a 2002 GMC Express van.

I can actually lock up my brakes now
That turned out great, Its definitely a huge upgrade over vacuum.
I totally agree!
Im looking out for an astro van for mine now after watching. Awsome job ken!
Look out for a early 2000's GMC/CHevy full sized van. Express or Savana
@@DadbrosGarage ok will do. Thanks mate 🍻
Weird how I have the exact same booster you had and also a 454 in my 53 truck and it appears I have way more room than you did in a WAY smaller engine bay! Also weird how both of ours are satin black and also share the same steering wheel..
Even as a Plumber/welder by trade I would have actually taken the time to tap and die the two rods to have perfect adjustment to the pedal. I would have just left the old rod in the old eyelet and drilled right though that, cut it long for plenty of threads and added a jamb nut.
If I had your skills etc I would have done it. My impatience is terrible
Great video👍, where did you get the cooler from?

Hows it working out so far.
After working out a few things, the hydroboost works just fine!
@@DadbrosGaragewhat are the few things you had to work out? This would help us get test fire when we do ours! I already have a hydro boost out of a 2001 2500hd Silverado. Thanks for posting this btw and sweet idea on flipping the booster, I haven’t seen that yet.
I’ve been back and forth and going with a hydroboost. Did you notice a significant braking difference? I can say that my current setup with 4 wheel disc brakes will not lock the wheels up.
Yes. They lock up now.
Any lag from the pedal releasing back? By using t fitting
don't think so...They work just fine. I dont really notice tbh
How did you get those bolts/studs off the mount plate?
Drilled them off...they were a pain the rear
@@DadbrosGaragenoted and also can you run the hydro boost without the power steering cooler or is it best to go ahead and get it and install? also where can i find that cooler or what's the part number for it?
How do you bleed these hydrobooster?
Same way as vacuum. Just bleed master cylinder and each caliper
