Keep us updated! I am curious on how it turns out and how the stopping power increases
A few of us have already done the swap. I can lock the fronts up at 50mph, I'm doing the ABS conversion now.
Hydro boost.
Why?
Good friend of mine has a truck very similar to yours and he tried a lot of different things to get the brakes to work better and the best result he got was with the hydroboost.
No, there isnt, i did it on my 97 ranger and didnt notice it stopping any better.I have a vortech blower and I would have problems with the accessory bracket I have for the blower. And if I were to mess something up if I had to cut the bracket, vortech doesn't make them anymore for me to get a replacement.
I thought about replacing the back drums with discs but there's not enough gain there from what I read.
Coop, big tires on 4wd are hard to stop. Bigger brakes or more line pressure will help a ton in his application.
I just looked up a few different vehicles and it seems that the 1 5/16 is designed for hydroboost. The factory mc, I believe is 1 1/8 so if you went with the expedition it would be 1 1/4 and would be able to retain a brake booster.ok guys, i got the truck put back together, i bled the entire system thuroughly (2 quarts fo fluid overall) and the pedal still feels long and mushy. any info on an upgraded master and or booster would be greatly apprriciated. part numbers of source vheicles.
