Ch***is is a '94 Ford F600 with a ***mins 5.9 and Lucas Gurling hydraulic E brake with the little yellow push/pull dash knob... The system worked fine when I parked it 2 years ago, I want to remove it because its reservoir and pump are in the way and from what everyone says online, eventually going to cost me an arm and a leg. My question is this, can I run a "T" on the return line of the power steering pump (integrated into the timing gear cover) to provide ATF to the hydromax brake booster? I think I read somewhere that the booster wants 3-5 bar or else the pedal will not provide enough force or will cause the pads and shoes to drag if too much pressure. in regards to an emergency break, I think a line lock on the front brakes should hold it if ever parked on a hill, or even if you have to do a hill start (manual trans) with somebody in a prius a foot of the bumper... Thanks in advance
I've never heard of this system, (sheltered life I guess) but here is some talk about it that might be helpful. http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com...ulic-***ist-power-brakes-One-break-hanging-up It does sound like at least some systems used one PS pump for both brake booster and Power steering
Thanks Steve, that's the same system. I would have just gone and done it if this was any system other than the brakes. I think the truck weighs about 4 tons in its current stripped down state. I cant imagine rolling through a red light with this thing, bad.
