If you don't want to maintain the PM, HB is the way to go

Replacing the PM is the easiest - no conversion issues to be considered - if you don't want to deal with the high maintenance of the PM anymore then hydroboost is the way to go Many like the vacuum conversion but I'm not for it in a turbo charged vehicle JMO

If you don't want to maintain the PM, go with aHydroboost

Youd' have to put a vacuum pump on it and get it up to about 18-19" of vacuum on the high side to see how much it holds

In that case, check close for leaks It may even be worth sliding the master cylinder off the booster can and checking for leakage into the booster If you cant find any leaks at all anywhere, the only other possibility is the master cylinder vacuum brakes are real simple I have seen new parts...

Pedal to floor creep is a classic symptom of a dying master cylinder The only other thing that will do it is a major fluid leak that would be obvious to the naked eye Depending on where you got the replacement cylinder from it could be the cause

I can understand - I don't care for the white stuff at all but it looks pretty when it's fresh on the ground

When it comes to the powermaster dying, you go full rebuild or complete replacement When you replace it, its either another PM as a direct replacement or a hydroboost or vacuum system replacement How do you know its on its way out? Run a diagnostic procedure on it to be sure

If the pedal isn't returning completely then there there is something wrong in the master cylinder or the pedal itself is hanging up mechanically - disconnect the actuator rod from the pedal and you can find out for sure Guessing you are still running the Powermaster, then its not as simple as...

Sorry for the late response - been busy with the personal life The PM doesn't like to sit - if you know the vehicle won't be driven for a while pump it down It sounds like your acc is saturating - this can happen when it sits The pressure constantly sitting on the bladder and keeping the...
