    i, too, have tried to talk him into using SS tube for the straight/longer runs... :wink: basically, when i redo mine, there will only be 4 braided / flex lines: 1 at each knuckle and 1 for each frame-axle drop down. i just think the tube is a lot more rugged. and, sometimes bending tube can...

    i'm with you all the way. and the big 3 went to 4 wheel disc as an option toward late 90's and standard early 00's. so finding a 4 wheel disc MC should be pretty simple... i just searched for a MC and brake booster - about $80 for a new '00 F350-F550 MC and $150 for a reman'd hydro brake...

    24" Hg is 11.8 pounds of vacuum - that's pretty good. no, i meant alternator - i just didn't know where the 5 ton pump bolted on to. so when you said the spot above the alternator is spoken for, i thought that is where the 5 ton pump went and that is why you can't use it. my pump is...

    i don't understand this statement: it is simply one extra hydraulic line. it goes from pump-booster-steering box vs pump-box. that's it. :?: in either case, you're still doing the hard part (swapping the master cylinder). but w/ vacuum, you're installing a seperate component (stand alone...

    i believe this statement needs clarification. while it is correct to say that you have twice the chance for a component failure by having twice the amount of similar components, the odds of having a system failure are quite lower. every layer of protection, whether it be individual zones or...
