This is one of the best videos I have had the pleasure of watching. Explanation exceptional plus straight forward and no deviation from the subject.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Many thanks Ivan for the kind words. I appreciate you noticing all the hard work that goes into these videos.....not the earlier ones lol.

[@paulcable768]

Outstanding job. This is the best diesel Technician. He does a outstanding job and explaining what to do.Five stars pluses.

[@paullogieri248]

It's not very often you see videos on auto repair that are as clear and informative as this one. The teaching style of this technician reminds me of the instructors in automotive school. Liked and subscribed.

[@theopodrex2]

Dodge asking me to do this job $980 . I said he’ll no I do myself . Man thank you for doing that gob bless you very much 👍🏻

[@AdrienneeeMarieee]

I almost paid someone $700 to replace this. I searched how to replace hydroboost unit 2004 5.9 cummins. This AMAZING video popped up! THANK You for explaining what you’re GOING to do, and then ACTUALLY doing it. I can’t stand other mechanic videos that just tell You, and don’t show You what they’re doing. You’re a life saver!!

[@colbyhackett4350]

Was it easy to replace? I was quoted $900 to get this done in my 2006 ram 2500 5.9

[@MLGtroll365]

[@MotorCityMechanic]

[@stevewalls8289]

The best tutorial ever I served 3yrs. as automotive apprentice in my twenty’s now 50 yrs. later after changing trades , can use some help thank you

[@Fed-Up_Hallelujah]

I have watched many how to videos for my Ram diesel, my boat, motorcycle etc. You are a natural born teacher, no bs just "how to". Great Job! My truck just sprang identical leak inside cab as you described. My 03 Ram 5.9-2500 6 spd has 350K miles and I bought the truck brand new. I always wanted a classic pick up, just never imagined I would buy a new truck and wait for it to be a classic. (no more standard transmissions on 3/4 or 1 ton trucks any more either :(

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Being here at the dealership.....I remember those $30,000-$40,000 and thought how expensive they were and now I see them on Facebook Market place for like $500 needing lots of work lol. We use to see cars with no a/c and roll up windows....those are getting fewer and fewer. Heck every car had a spare tire back in the day and you could check your own trans fluid as well. But on the other side of the coin we still run a small transmission that we had back in the 80's still! Actually this is its last year but man.....30-40 year run on the same basic trans in the smalled front wheel drive vehicles is something else. Thanks Chris for reaching out and for the kind words. Make sure to subscribe.

[@davidmcdaniel5150]

JUST WOWWWWWW. Great video, excellent in every way. Made the job really easy. I had a problem with the aftermarket ( I know) shaft. It was a different size. So those who get zero pedal movement, swap the master cylinder shaft in the booster. Definitely one if the best tutorial videos out here. Thank you David

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thanks for the kind words. I have heard people have issues like you mentioned and that just might be the cause....will have to keep that in mind.

You're the man, great detail video, I'm definitely subscribing and liking it. To show support well deserved it, 👏👏👏🙌

Many thanks Oscar!

[@thelagmeister]

Great video. I watched every second . I just got my 97 5 speed and I know the booster is toast. I'm glad it has the brake assist switch. For some reason I thought it would be hard job. Thanks and Cheers

[@johnvernon6663]

Ditto on Ivan, Mike and Nick etc. below...your delivery and presentation is a cut above! I was just looking up the brake booster but think I'll watch all your videos...new sub

Outstanding... Great detail, I studied your vid before replacing my brake system on my Ram 3500 and it was spot on. I would like to see you show replacing the master cylinder and bench bleeding it. Thanks!!!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I will keep that as a possible future video. Thanks for the request and for the comment about the other video. Its greatly appreciated! Make sure to subscribe and enjoy the weekend

[@Neverquit275]

Your Insight in the top inside bolt of the master cylinder to hydrobooster, it does not reverse out regularly I think the top of the threads on that bolt are different? and how yo get a difficult to stuck bolt out of this situation since there is very little room for leverage on a open end wrench or even a ratchet wrench.

[@rickgantz6745]

Thanks a lot! Answered all my questions

[@198frosty]

thanks for writing back, it must have been air because it worked its self out finally. it steers great now.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

There are ways to remove the air using a special tool set up......but in the end, the same old way of running it and rechecking it over time works well also. Glad to hear that its okay now. Thanks for the update

[@jeffbarnes6619]

Great video. I am having an issue with 2014 ram 2500. I have a “whining” noise coming from the steering and brakes. I’ve already replaced the PS pump and the problem is still there. I am going to try the booster next and hopefully it fixes the issue. I paid the shop to do the pump but after watching this video I’m confident I can tackle the booster myself. Thank you for making such an amazing video that’s easy to follow. Keep em coming!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Many thanks Jeff for the kind words. I appreciate it very much. Dont forget to subscribe.

[@n8ill]

Hey guys, how do you determine if it’s the power steering pump or the hydro booster? My brakes have a weird feel and I’m getting the whining that sounds like a bad power steering pump when I turn the wheel. I also have a whine just on idle and more so when I press the brakes. I’m assuming it’s the hydro booster but a little confirmation or a process to determine which is on the outs definitively would be great. And great video bud!! Bit of an amateur but I think I’ll give it a go.

[@jnhudspeath]

Got just 1 pro tip and the only reason I feel i can say that is now I’ve had to do it twice when removing and replacing the hydro boost their is a rod that goes between the master cylinder and in the hydro booster if the new one doesn’t have it you must remove the old one and install it before installing the new hydro booster in the truck trust me on this check twice before installing for all your other viewing this might not have caught that but everything else is spot on

[@MotorCityMechanic]

@@jnhudspeath great tip and something I should have pointed out for sure

[@paulgarza7393]

Your welcome Paul! Thanks for checking this video out

[@rondumontier1187]

OK. finally an answer that addresses my vibration problem. and what to do to fix it. I,ll go try it and see if it works.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Depending on the year.....make sure the pressure line going to the unit doesnt have the nylon liner separated. If you take the line loose and the nylon tube is seen then the hose needs replacing, typically it causes a noise.

[@rondumontier1187]

@@MotorCityMechanic Damn, I think i need to replave it. I found something like blk tape that was at the mouth of the hose. Well my 2001 3/4t ram diesel mite be due for hose changes anyway. Thanks for quick info.

I really appreciate your videos. You do very good getting the camera in just the right spot to see everything clearly. I was wondering if you have seen any problems with pulleys locking up on 2014 ram 2500 w/6.7 ? My truck did not start and it only would click once. Both batteries had 12.5 volts. After bumping the key a couple of times it turned over. Someone told me the pulleys lock up on the Ram's. I also noticed a chirping noise when I first start it and it last until it warms. I plan on taking it in but was just curious if you seen this problem before.
