[QUOTE="gnxtc2, post: 1519641, member: 1414"] I'm gonna re-open this thread..... As you know, I've done the hydroboost conversion. I'm just not too happy with the brake pedal feel. The pedal feels harder than I would like it to be. Don't get me wrong, the truck does stop without issue. I drove a 1994 C/C F-SD truck with the same hydroboost set up. The 1994 had discs all the way around. But the 1994 had that load sensing valve in the rear that regulated the pressure going to the rear. That rear set up is discontinued. The pedal feel in the 1994 was way better. I relocated the brake pin on the pedal which helped but not that much. I also installed the correct proportioning valve on the master. It helped. The feeling I get is a harder pedal but more of numb type braking. Feels like when I installed a large bore (1-1/8") manual master in the race car. At the time of install, I had four wheel disc but was going to do dual rear calipers in the future. When I eventually installed the additional calipers in the rear, the pedal felt way better. The OEM master for the 1997 trucks is 1-1/4 bore vs 1 5/16 bore for the F-SD truck. I'm beginning to think that the bigger bore master is too much for a disc/drum set set up. So what I've been thinking of doing to my truck.... - Put the original master back and slot/enlarging the mounting holes (cheaper) or - Swapping in the hydroboost that accepts the stock master so I don't have to slot the mounting holes and install the stock master (more money but looks legit). I've also thought about installing an adjustable proportioning for the rear brakes? Also, I've heard about porting a hydroboost unit. Anyone know whats involved in that mod? Billy T.
