hydroboost

[slewfoot]

now i have a CJ-5 with manual brakes could the hydroboost be fitted to work this? im running 33 12.50 15's so with manual brakes it can get hairy trying to stop fast

[Retro93]

Yes.

[slewfoot]

heck all I have is manual brakes now but I do have a hydro boost system in the back of my truck what all do I need to do to convert it?

are these boosters only on 77-78 cads or are they avalible on newer cads? how do you test to tell if they are good or not before installing?

[River Beast]

After 78 the boosters are vac....

No real way of testing, I had installed mine and leaked like a siv! It slowed down alot after a month, but wound up using it as a core and got a new one.

True Todd...there is no way of testing a unit short of installing it to see if it leaks. :eek: No big deal. If it does, the core value far exceeds what you will pay for it at the bone yard. :D
