Can anyone vouch for this hydroboost (Cardone 52-7248)

[CARNAC]

Gotta replace my hydroboost and since this is one the of easiest, most cost effective options I see, just want to verify if anyone knows of any better options and obviously validate this will work if possible.

Online info shows it is correct for the blazer, but not the pickup.

Standing by as I need to replace mine on the burb.

A site search for "52-7248" seems to pull up a few threads.

I think quality of the part was more the question over fit. At least that is the info I'm hoping turns up. Same part fits my burb.

Judging by the numbers it looks like NAPA may be using the same company.

Napa does use cardone, or cardone does sell to many retailers under their own names

I crossed the GM # 2770317 to the same number(52724

Well then, I let you know how it goes once they ship it in. If it is jacked up, we'll just blame doghead. LOL.

I'll also let you know about the Murray 432098 radiator. To get my speedometer working, gonna replace that dang plastic thingy and 41 tooth gear gadget to boot.

It will all get fixed or I can still blame it on doghead.

Proceed with caution, I made an error earlier today, that I still feel bad about.

Hoping to redeem myself...

Thanks. Maybe I should do one of those picture by picture tutorials. I'll do it at my level: Step 1 Find 14mm combination wrench. Step 2 Place wrench over nut shown. Step 3 Turn wrench and nut in a counter-clockwise as far as possible. Step 4 Pull wrench off of nut. Step 5 Put wrench back onto nut in a position to be able to continue turning in a counter-clockwise manner. Step 6 Pull wrench off nut.......get the picture.

BTW, NAPA continues to be on my feces list for yet another oof. Speaking of quality, I ordered the KD hone from them.....it wasn't KD. This follows the event last month where the NAPA guy, who appeared very annoyed I had called, told me to order an item from the website even before I told him half of the part number.

Finding a decent counter guy is getting increasingly difficult. It might be easier to find an honest politician........naw, not that hard.

I put a Cardone hydro boost in my 1008 about a year ago. I would sporadically lose power assist and after replacing the pump failed to fix the problem I swapped the booster. It works fine and fixed my problem. The hardest part of install was removing the large nut that secures the unit to the bracket that mounts to the firewall. It requires a large socket which I don't have. I ended up cutting it in half to get it off. Good luck! Gonz.

As my other thread showed, the first hydroboost was defective. Got the new one today. Took pictures but will post those as a step by step thread on replacing it. So far, the new one appears to be working.
