Title: Brake booster differences...
Post by: BigTree on July 15, 2007, 11:43:36 pm

Hello hello.

My truck (originally 1/2 ton) now has a one ton 14b FF rear end and 10 bolt front end and my booster is shot.  I am assuming that the one in there was a half ton one.  Would there be any reason to "upgrade" to even a 3/4 booster or will there be little to no difference?  I have no clue.  Thanks guys.

Trevor

I don't think there is any difference.  You have boosters with a single diaphram, and some with double diaphrams.  Just put a double diaphram on it and call it a day.
