What brand kit did you buy? What exactly is in the kit? Price?


I need to rebuild one of mine. Just needs O-rings.

 

I'd like to see what you've got if you can post some pictures.

 

I hope this works...One kit is a complete kit including metal parts, one is rubber parts only. These are the only rebuild kits I could find. MBM is a Hot-Rod/classic car power brake supply house. Hope this helps Dan

That's what I could have used two years ago. The seals went out. it was ~$300 to replace it. Did you see the price on this kit?

 

Mine was very reasonable around $30.00 US shipped. #501 kit with all parts. Mine is leaking from the body gasket, as well as next to the master cylinder. I will update after I install this weekend.

 

I put sealer in mine and it seems to have stopped leaking.


Let us know how the rebuild goes. I doubt the sealer will last forever.

 

humnmm.. mine is leakin too.. $30? that fits in my budget! amazing that.. haha

Cheap parts means i might just have a good truck yet..

Thanks for the link

Did you ever rebuild it? If so, how did it turn out and how long did it take?

 

Yes I did, however most of the parts were not needed as this kit is for an older model. I used the "figure-8" gasket, and 2 or 3 of the seals for the inner piston and the star holder clip. Other than that the newer ones are much more simple than the older ones. You can buy a rubber only kit from the same guys, much cheaper. Mine is working good... no leaks been about a month now. It was leaking power steering fluid all over the frame. The hardest part was removing the darn thing.. under the dash is nasty.. Dan

 

The place at the links above says dealers only.


Did you order direct from them? Is the first link have enough parts included?

 

Yes it looks like the 51 Kit has exactly what I used... I Had no problem ordering direct from them. Dan

 

Did you order online or have to call?

 

SD, Did you ever rebuild your hydra-boost with this kit? How did it go, Looks like too few parts to be complicated. I'm going to order it tomorrow

 

I ordered a kit50 last night, hopefully it will have all the parts I need as they did not return calls or e-mails. I'm confused with some of the info in this thread because the kit501 which has all the parts is more like $70 not $30. They have 4 different kits for rebuilding the hydro boost with varying levels of parts but no information to help you decide which one you might need. SD mentioned he used the clip which is not in any of the kits except the 501, hopefully I can get the old one out without damaging it.

 

MDT, I did order the 501 Kit, however it comes with many parts that you probably will not need. From what I can tell these kits are for older model trucks.. and the hydro-booster's were considerably more complicated than the one on my '95... Having said that the rubber "figure 8" gasket and other gaskets are included and mine works good and no leaks and has 15,000-20,000km on it.
The hardest part of the job is removing and putting it back in. I could not find rebuilt one up here for less than $300.00 and one at the auto wrecker runs about $190.00

I paid about $30-$35 U.S. dollars for the 501 kit, but got dealer pricing through my company. I am also located in Canada (west coast) and that sometimes helps as they have no authorized dealers up here....with diesel at .85 per litre (about $3.40 per us gallon) we need a break up here sometimes.. After all B.C. means "Bring Cash"

 

I have a 2006 2500HD with a 6.6. I found my hydro boost leaking. Can you point me to the right seal kit to purchase?

 

Anyone have info on finding the right pump? Part numbers and such? Don't think a rebuild for the pump is in the books for me. Making a bad noise and not much "boost" left. Parts stores near me show a standard pump (non hydro boost model) and no other unless wording needs changing. Mines not leaking but bad noises are the main concern. Hate to pay 300 bucks but don't know any other way. Boneyard's I don't see much either. It's a 94 heavy half ton with S vin diesel for info. Most things I've replaced so far are HD, 4L80E, IP, and so on. Running out of patience. Thought there would only be one model pump. Thanks in advance!

 

Here is the AC/Delco part #: ACDELCO 14PB4159
Rock Auto lists it online:

Are you needing the hydro boost or the power steering pump?

 

Thanks for the info! I am mainly needing the pump at this point however the metal dust (mud) that I cleaned out if the pump makes me think I need both. And possibly the gear box. The difference that im not finding is in the pump, the valve chamber behind the main orifice has an access plug on the pully side if the pump as well as the back there the pressure line connects. Not sure if this an important difference or not but I'm not seeing this option anywhere. Or am I over analyzing this just because it's hydroboost?

 

The power steering pumps used with hydroboost have 3 hose connections, (an extra return line for the hydroboost).
The pumps are mostly the same, the reservoirs are different.
Just the pump - Cardone 20-860
Pump and reservoir - 19319896, 36P1370, many more
NEW Cardone pump + reservoir - 96-8735
Pulley for a 94 - 15589752 "HDB"
You need a pulley puller to remove and replace the pulley, never pound on the pump.

 

Thanks Glagulator! Bought the pump and reused my reservoir. It also has the 5/32 orifice and mine didn't. Think it should respond better than my old one.
