Whippled2dr
Stock
I installed a hydroboost setup on my 2 door tahoe two weeks ago. The whipple and intercooler will be back on in a couple of weeks.
Parts:
- Hydroboost and Master cylinder from local junk yard (98 HD truck)
- New AC Delco steering pump for a hydroboost truck
- Ebay Mounting plate with centered whole
- Hydratech aeroquip hose and fitting kit for my application
- Various stainless nuts and bolts from mcmaster
- 3/8-16 thread die for the hydroboost pushrod
- Ac delco brake light switch
- Steering and brake fluid
I took the snap ring off the unit and unscrewed the retaining nut with a big adjustable wrench and test fitted the new plate. All fit perfectly and the holes of the new plate matched the stock plate holes.
(I used this centered plate because I used the stock brake pedal).
I bought the plate from ebay from the seller sterlingworth16. It is 3/16" thick steel.

Pic of the master cylinder.
I cut and threaded (3/8-16) the pushrod making it shorter by +- 5 mm. Once I get my vacumm booster off I'll measure and adjust the rod to the same length. The joining nut is stainless and 1-1/8" long. By doing this and using the center mounting plate, I can reuse my stock brake pedal.
End result:
Hydratech hose and fitting kit for a 99 tahoe. These are Aeroquip TFE high pressure hose and fittings. Great service and packaging on hydratech's part.

This setup has been on for about two week so far and has worked great. I actually had my first panic stop yesterday and was glad I did the swap.
