Hydroboost question

[Randy92782]

I have a crew cab that has hydroboost and the power steering pump that's on the big block I installed in the CC was setup for a vacuum booster setup. Can I use this same pump for both duties?

I've only had one other truck that ran hydroboost and I never really knew what to look for then. Didn't have it long enough but do remember it had a reservoir relocator thing on the air filter housing

I would think it'd have to have the fluid up higher to work correctly but have no idea.

I was told I could just run the lines the way they were orignally hooked up and put a T into the return lines. I've already done this but I don't wanna mess anything up and have to replace it.

thanks in advance

The extra reservoir on the factory hydroboost pumps is for more volume. Not sure if there will be an issue with not having the extra volume or not, but I do know that GM wouldn't of spent the extra money if if wasn't needed.

Yes, you should just be able to T the two returns lines together.

Well I have 2 hydroboost pumps but neither truck has a reservoir with it

I thought I had a 2 resovoirs. Must have sold them. The astro vans also used a hydro boost setup. They might be easier to find.
