    Hydro boost leaks back into the cab

    go to a real parts store. those nation wide chains just have people entering info into a computer for the most part they know nothing. how can you tell the difference between a hydraboost master and a vacuum boost master?

    Hydro boost leaks back into the cab

    the problem though is there really not a pathway from the master cylinder to inside the cab through the hydraboost. if it takes only a day to happen that's a huge leak. leave the brake lines attached and split the master off the booster fill the master up if what is happing as you describe you...

    Hydro boost leaks back into the cab

    it's impossible for brake fluid to leak into the cab with a hydraboost. your brake fluid is going somewhere else. also your hydraboost is leaking. highdesertranger

    Graco and Wagner

    all the painters I know said don't use airless sprayers for auto paint. when I ask why they said tip sizes and paint atomization. don't know, but I took their advice. inexpensive HVLP auto paint guns are widely available. highdesertranger

    6.5 conversion

    it will basically bolt right in. you need the 6.2 motor mounts. the T-400 will be fine. that's the main trans behind a 6.2/6.5. you will need the diesel torque converter. the AC is fine unless you are using a factory turbo. if using the factory turbo most will use the S-10 AC box. a Banks...

    howto empty gas tank??

    yes and no. if you just disconnect your line and turn the key on you will only get a short burst of fuel. without the engine running the fuel pump will not run. you could unplug the fuel pump and hot wire it. or trick your oil pressure sensor into thinking the engine is running...

    Longer wheel studs for 1/4" spacers

    yep I didn't realize you were using the bolt on ones. when people say spacers I think of those silly spacers they sell on the junk aisle at the parts store. highdesertranger
