    John, I have the booster installed. It bolts up to the firewall and the master with no changes to either. Also it works quite well, it has been a while driving a vehicle less with hydro boost. It is a nice improve ment.

    Hydroboost Repair Kit 129496-BH

    It is not really a repair kit, it is the small parts needed for a booster with out the rod, spring and small parts. I recently bought a Hydro-Boost unit so I could do this mod. It is missing the push rod between the master and the Hydro-Boost unit. With a little digging I was able to locate this...

    New Android Head Unit

    Update I forgot to mention, the Ebay add shows the unit as 4 GB Ram and 32 GB memory. The title shows 64 GB memory. 64 GB is correct. You could find this for a bit less money but with Ebay there is insurance if you do not receive the item. This unit comes from China. I ordered it on a Friday...

    Just another 7.3 under the knife.

    I know this is an old post but thought I would ask. I am going to be replacing the transmission in my truck and would like to know where I can get the Oilite pilot shaft bushing. Was this custom or do you have a part number? Thank You
