So my brakes started acting up over the weekend, with pedal dropping to floor on hard braking. My mechanic told me my Master Cylinder (MC) is bad, so I need a new MC.
I ended up picking up a Hydro Boost setup. Came with Hydro boost, MC, pedal and all lines out of a 2002 HD 2500. Unfortunately he sold the motor with the power steering (PS) pump. I wasn't going to convert to Hydro Boost, but since this deal came up, just seemed easier to go the conversion route since so many like it. Hopefully is right decision to convert. anyways....
I have a few questions in regards to how and if stuff will work.
Will it be ok to use HD 2500 MC & Hydro Booster without using PS Pump off same vehicle? Can I use my stock PS pump with this setup?
Will it cause any issues? i.e. low pressure? over heating? enough fluid? ect....anything.???
Difference in MC between Tahoe vacuum boost MC vs MC hydro boost? I know each mount the same, but is bore/piston size, fluid rate, or pressure different?
Reason I am concerned or questioning, is most writeups I have read the installers are using the Hydro Booster no problems, but keeping there stock MC and stock PS Pump. Just want to make sure I will not run into issues later on? Install seems simple enough, but hopefully I should be ok using this new MC since my stocker is going bad.
Just want to make sure I am ok using the HD 2500 Hydro Booster & Master Cylinder with my stock Power Steering Pump?
Thanks guys, and any info you can give me in regards to this is greatly appreciated.
