Exclamation Hydroboost Brakes

I lost faith in these brakes when I I was driving a two year old 3/4 ton Chevy long bed so equipped and I stepped on the brakes in a turn and the P.S. belt snapped, the brakes failed and the truck wanted to go straight in spite of my best efforts .

No, I'm not a little wimpy guy, I'm a 6' tall 200# mechanic .

It scared me witless, I hope your really nice looking modification never does that to you .

The adapter plate looks clean and sanitary .

I've had a few original old tech 'Saginaw Squish' power steering belt failure, in Caddies and other large, heavy vehicles, none made me think I was about to crash .
