HydroBooster?????
I texted this guy on a 2000 dodge 2500 with a 5.9 24v cummins. And he says that it seems like there is a vacum leak. That power steering intermittent and brakes are hard and he just replaced the steering box. HE says that its theis Hydro Booster. Does this sound right? Can I drive it home? How serious is this? And how much would it cost to fix?

The hydro booster sounds like it maybe bad or going bad you will have no or very little break pedal they are expensive to replace it went out on my 97 can't remember exactly how much it was but it wasn't cheap by no means bud
Good luck

How far is the drive home ? And yes the hydro booster uses hydraulic pressure form power steering to assist in applying breaks . If down the road I'd maybe try it anything further I'd not chance it .

If I replace the hydrobooster do i need to replace the mastercylinder?
Yes you need to replace the master cylinder and flush the break fluid alsoOriginally Posted by Braydon541

@HKBIGDADDYDIESELDAN
Are you sure because i have seen people just replace the hydrobooster and keep their old master cylinder?
It would be prudent to change both, as the fluid is probably the same that's been in there since 2000. Brake fluid attracts moisture from the air, and should be changed. You're already ripping the thing apart, this is the perfect time to get it done.

Do you know if it was doing that before he did the steering box cause it sounds like there may be air trap somewhere good luck hope it's something simple as that
