Hydroboost Upgrade Issue. Need info!

[Colorado Hoe II]

Help! My truck is down and I could use some advice. 2002 Tahoe. Thought I had all of the parts to do the hydroboost upgrade. I've run into a problem with my original power steering pump. The original line that runs from the steering pump to the steering gear screws onto the pump from the front direction of the truck, not the rear direction. The rear of the pump has a wired connector on it (maybe the variable assist steering cable). The hydroboost upgrade line that goes between the pump and the booster is designed to screw into the pump from the rear direction. Do I need to get a different power steering pump or does anyone know the part number of the hose I need that goes from the pump to the booster? Can I keep the variable assist steering and have the hydroboost upgrade if I can find the right power steering pump? Can I use a 2500HD pump to make this work? Thanks in advance!

ask any hose maker (had mine done by a local company that does hydraulic hoses) to make you a new hose so you can still use your variable assist. take the original hose and tell them what you want. i have converted mine to hydroboost using parts from 2500HD including the brake pedal.
