    Power steering fluid inside my truck from HydraBooster....

    I never messed with the brakes or fluid. I just changed the Hydroboost. the only fluid lost would be the power steering fluid that runs the Hydroboost. I don't think I have any air or water in the system. I think all the air would have worked its way out of the power steering lines after...

    Power steering fluid inside my truck from HydraBooster....

    Ok the Hydroboost has been in now for a month and the peddle is kind of hard. I have to apply more force to stop than my old Hydroboost. I am wondering about the gas charged device on the Hydroboost. What if its bad? anyway to test? Do you think this is why my new hydroboost is harder to...

    shifting issue

    My truck revved real high then shifted hard. It would shift into second gear at 35mph.. Anyway I replaced ALL the rubber vacuum lines and it fixed the shifting problems. Not just the one to the trans but the ones by the injector pump back. Shifts great now.

    BFG 35's weakness?

    , just a small 1/4" puncture spot. Ok I just read this thread and I am wondering if your 35 inch tires are too big for the vehicle (is it lifted) and maybe your punctures are from the fenders hitting your front tires when you turn and bottom out hard.... Just a theory.

    Quick fixes/ emergency repairs/ jerry rigging/ inovations that will get you home.

    I used another quick fix method I found from someone on here. I tried to replace the gasket in my leaky fuel pressure switch..did'nt work. I didnt have time to sit around and wait for a new filter base to come in the mail. No part stores had them.... I needed to go deer hunting. So I took the...
