Hey Ryan, sorry, haven't been on the site in a few days. Actually, my truck is a long ways from running. That said, I bought the whole 2001 2500 HD truck to get the Lq4 and 4L80E out of it. I got to looking at the hydroboost and thought it looked like it'd fit. I took the bracket off the back, turned it upside down, trimmed it up a little to clear the steering column, redrilled a few holes and it bolted right up. I'll have to modify the rod to make it work with the original brake pedal - or modify the brake pedal to work with the rod, and I think it'll be good. I plan to use all the original hoses from the 2001. The only issue may be the connections on the steering box - which I don't have yet. So I'll have to cross that hurdle when I get there. I'll try to post some pics this coming weekend.
