Has anyone had any problems with the brakebooster on the first gens?

...You might want to search using the word "grommet"...Someone a few months back had an issue with theirs...

 

[marragtop]

I've had a couple of Gen I's and never a booster problem. What symptoms are you experiencing?

 

[1991fordexploder]

no power brakes.

 

[seth247]

No leaks?

Brakes are for pu-... wait, family sight... edit..

Do you not have ANY brakes, or is the ABS system just not working?

 

[cjones101812]

no power brakes.

in other words...hard as a rock

check the vacuum hose going to the booster, the check valve at the booster and as said earlier check the booster grommet

 

[1991fordexploder]

i've checked all of that, and i've even pulled that hose off of the booster right after i shut the truck off and it didnt do anything! then i tried pulling it while it was running it didnt even bog down the engine.

 

[cjones101812]

do you have vacuum at that hose?? if not, check for a blockage in the hose, if no blockage in hose then check for vacuum at the fitting on the engine.

ok will do after class thanks.

Mine leaks a fair bit, but when its running, I don't notice any issues.

I can hear it when its turned off though.

 

[1991fordexploder]

yeah, i pulled the hose last night and the check valve is good, the booster is SHOT!!!
