I had a hydroboost as a factory option in my ‘98 2500 Suburban. Had to replace it once. After refilling, I had to let it idle for some time and then steer it through full range both directions several times to purge air. Afterwards, it took a couple days of normal driving and topping it off...
Within the last 5 or 6 years I have had the hose collapse phenomenon occur 3x on two different vehicles. Caught it too late on my daughters ‘95 Taurus and locked up her rear caliper. She drove it until it caught fire believe it or not. Fire department was dispatched and all. Also happened to...
