OK, where is the detailed write up on converting to the hydro-boost set up?

Here’s a step by step guide with part numbers:

Here’s the post where I got that link—has more general info on brake upgrade options.

Keep us posted on what you decide to do. I’m currently looking to upgrade my brake system... thinking about doing the whole nine yards (hydroboost, stainless lines, 16” rotors, 6 piston calipers).

I got some blue tint thx to @iamdub and used it to tint the odo and dic windows, and a few of the other icons.

I also did the headlight switch.

It's hard to tell what it looks because it's still daytime.

I guess we'll see the next time we drive at night.

Thanks, I'm just looking right now. Maybe next summer.

Just replaced my belts, wipers and windshield washer fluid motors. While testing the motors I pulled a dummy move and turned the key to on but not start. Motors are fine but I killed my battery. Rolled it out of the mountain that is my driveway so my neighbor could help and jump it. While turning it on..... I locked my keys in the truck. First time I have ever done that.


Positive note. The belts were super easy to swap. Washer motors were an absolute *****. You have to pull the battery, the battery tray and the reservoir, in my case the driver front wheel. And fender liner.

At least your driveway slops down and you didn't have to push it up hill! Hopefully you have a spare set of keys too. Wonder why the NBS never came with the push buttons on the door like fords have.

I used that on my wife's car. Works pretty well I need to replace my filter.... the metal wiring holding it together is rusting

The end of mine was rusting from water sitting in the low spot. I painted it black as you can’t see the chrome end cap anyways.

It will be getting a fresh coat when it comes off.

So front washer motor doesn't work..... I got a new battery and rear brakes today so I'll see if I can pull the washer reservoir again tomorrow to get it to work while I have the battery out..... again. Rear brakes shouldn't be that long. I might give it another shot at the free travel mod.

I went with a duralast platinum battery and duralast gold brakes.
