    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    I am liking the bench seat, nice work. I think I may look at a 60/40 split that can recline and fold forward with heat. That could work in my 09.

    He probably erred on the side of caution with regards to posting links. Here is the link he sent me: http://www.ntwonline.com/16-Steel-Of...els-C4091.aspx

    H1 Wheels 1 ton axles M1009

    Eliteweapons, do you have a link/model# to that wheel? What backspacing options are available for it (what did you use?) and, lastly, what was the cost? Thanks.

    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    Thanks for checking up Rick. Yup, I finally figured it out (I'm slow, but I get there!), buttoned it up and CAREFULLY tested the final product. And low and behold, she stops just fine !! I did manage to accidentally overfill the PS reservoir, but I corrected that and now all is good. Now if...

    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    OK, slow but sure. I have attached a few pics to document this. I cold not find this mentioned, so maybe it belongs in a sticky or something, or maybe it's just common knowledge, except when it comes to my knowledge. Anyway, you do need to break open the old booster. I could see no other...

    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    Thanks for the explanation Rick. With your help, this site and Youtube, I will get this right ! Another question(s). 1. So, I assume I'll need to to break apart both boosters and swap internals? 2. When you say push rod, I am thinking you mean that piece in the middle of the sprag...

    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    Thanks Rick. The unit came with a push rod, the piece that connects to brake pedal correct? It had a new "large nut" (aside from me) and used a snap ring. As for a "sprag washer", I am not master mechanic and you'll have to explain that one to me....please. This is what the old one looks...

    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    OK, NO JOY as far as brakes go. I started her up, let her run for a bit, pumped the peddle a bit (nothing) shut her off, checked fluid levels then fired her back up again. The peddle won't return if I push it and there is ZERO resistance. What the heck did I do wrong? No one thing I did...

    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    HUGE THANKS !! It's out, now I just have to figure out how to get that HUGE! nut off the old booster so I can reuse that plate. I guess a hammer and chisel will work, but what a pain in the *ss !!

    Hydraulic Brake Booster Change Out

    OK, got everything disconnected from the brake booster itself. She is disconnected from the pedal inside the truck and the brake fluid reservoir, brake lines, etc are all removed. I then removed the 4 15mm nuts inside the engine compartment holding that big metal mounting plate to the...

    DB2 pump #s on an M1009

    Hey Rick, There is a brand new one available right around the corner from me, but it is labeled DB2-S4267. For $200, I can't beat it, but only if she will work in my old M1009. Thoughts?

    DB2 pump #s on an M1009

    I have seen other IP's with those same number sequences on them. I am wondering if it is just a newer nameplate/number scheme ?

    IP for 84 M1009

    Didn't see that thread. What is the title? In the other thread I chimed in on, he mentions the same pump number, but it is not yet installed.

    DB2 pump #s on an M1009

    I may be wrong, but I think that pump is from a 6.5 GEP or Optimizer engine. Whether or not it will work on our lowly 6.2 is another question, which I have just asked.

    Eastern CT Meet ?

    If more than 6 or 7 vehicle owners commit, I'll bring it up to the restaurant owner to make sure it is good to go with using his lot. He is interested in the vehicles to, but I still have to give him at least a weeks heads up.
