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!!
Was it easy to replace? I was quoted $900 to get this done in my 2006 ram 2500 5.9
This guy is this real deal!!
How do you know if your hydro booster is the problem? 7/19/2024
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.
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.
Outstanding job. This is the best diesel Technician. He does a outstanding job and explaining what to do.Five stars pluses.
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.
Damm great video. Mister you explain everything thoroughly. Thank you for taking the time to put together this video.
Your welcome Mike! Thanks for the comment and for watching the video. Dont forget to subscribe and Merry Christmas!
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 👍🏻
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 :(
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.
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
I think that Eric o at south main auto. Has the best videos on UA-cam. But I just discovered you and right now your running a close second. Great work David
I can’t compare to Eric…..but I appreciate the comment and support for sure. Thank you very much
I've got a 2008 dodge ram 4x4 3500, and I just looked at the brake pedal, and the hydro booster is leaking, I watched your video and now I can do it, thanks for your wonderful videos and knowledge.
Your welcome Steven. Thanks for checking the video out and for reaching out as well. Make sure to subscribe.
Excellent walkthrough. You made this look easy! Very clear and concise. Thank you!
Hands down one of the best instructional videos for any project I've researched!...and there have been many.
Thanks Matthew for the very kind words about the videos. I put alot of work into them and glad to see that people notice and that they help. Thanks again and make sure to subscribe.
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
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.
How the heck you remove the old push rod
The new assembly didnt have one 😡😡😡
@@georgesolis2326 I’m sorry, do not remember exactly. I don’t think it was difficult, I was just so pissed that the shaft was the wrong size. Is yours rusty at all??
Best Mecanic in UA-cam!!! Thanks for you’re time showing us how to step by step
Always happy to get feedback on the videos and for those kind words
Awesome video thank you for being straight to the point and not talkin people's heads off for an extra hour, now after watching it video I know I got dis

Doing that job right now on my 18 2500. Your video helped me out alot! Thank you!
Real professional video. Good Job!
Thanks Nick. Its much appreciated. Make sure to subscribe
Bro thank you so much. I'm Def tackling this job. I'm not paying someone to do this... it's making my steering tight and my break pedal tight and it whines with a weird sound when I press the breaks to hard or steer to far left and right. I replaced my steering box with a new one and I replaced my steering components well as breaks. And it's still making noise and hard to turn. So I'm guessing this is the issue...
Just Outstanding!! I'm looking for info on my '03 2500 5.9 ps pump, not the hydroboost. But Dave does this video so well that I watched the whole thing anyway! Knowledge for the future. Thank you, Dave.
Tom McCarthy Your welcome Tom. Wish I had a video on that pump but currently I don't. At least you learned something about the hydrobooster today. Appreciate the feedback and for you watching.
Very nice video. It always amazes me the quality of the stuff on UA-cam including music, tutorials and just about anything you want to see.
Your right.....there is pretty much a video on just about every topic for sure. I know I use it for fixing things around the house as well. Thanks for commenting and for the feedback. Make sure to subscribe.
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!!!
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
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.
Thanks for the video. Your good attitude and patience are much appreciated.
Dude, you da man!!! I wouldn't have never attempted this without your help!!! Thank you!!!
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!
Many thanks Jeff for the kind words. I appreciate it very much. Dont forget to subscribe.
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.
Excellent work and teaching, I appreciate sir
Dave this was an exceptional video, they don’t get any better
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
You do a great job of explaining. This is my exact problem.

David, your video has to be the best part replacemant video I've had the pleasure of watching. keep it up brother!

Well done yound man, clear and easy to follow. Thank you very much!
Thanks for all the detail. Im thankful to have found this post.
I just bought a used 6.7 and I'm working on getting it up to speed. You Sir, are a mechanic's mechanic. Great video.
Many thanks Jason! Always happy to share what I know and even happier to see that people watch the videos lol. Make sure to subscribe and enjoy the weekend.
You're the man, great detail video, I'm definitely subscribing and liking it.
To show support well deserved it, 👏👏👏🙌
Many thanks Oscar!
thanks for writing back, it must have been air because it worked its self out finally. it steers great now.
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
Great video!!! Thanks for doing such an awesome job sharing!!
Your welcome and appreciate the feedback Sheldon. Dont forget to subscribe and Merry Christmas
I don’t subscribe to anything but I have a 2003 Cummins that I’m getting ready to do some suspension work to. If your video pertaining to the front suspension is anything like this one it will be a huge help! Thanks for posting!!
Many thanks Rob for watching. I appreciate you finding the channel and for checking this video out.
Awesome video. Very thorough and explained it well! Thank you so much for sharing.
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.
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.
@@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.
Your welcome. Sorry about the delay getting back
Awesome video, thank you so much!
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
Well done, best instructional video out there. Wish all were that well done.
Thanks you really good mechanic 👍
Many thanks for those kind words
Thanks a lot! Answered all my questions

Thank you very helpful and I’ve been a subscriber for a while and will continue to do so
Many thanks for being a loyal supporter
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
@@jnhudspeath great tip and something I should have pointed out for sure
Thanks for all the information 👍
Great video. Thanks for your help.
Your welcome. Dont forget to subscribe Lee
Replaced the booster unit, no leaks, steering is fine, now my brakes are "spongey", brake pedal not as firm as it was before. Did not break loose any of the brake lines, so any ideas?
Did you ever find the cause of this. Did mine yesterday and having the same problem
Nice video David! Very heipful. Thanks
Your welcome Rick. Appreciate the comment.
The plate on mine wasnt sandwiched, it was in front of the master cylinder making it almost impossible to get off. Im not sure how it was put on in front of the master cylinder, but it made this 10 times harder. Also, ive got hard steel lines on my 2004 3500, the master cylinder can only move so much before those are comprimised. Fml im broke down and this video makes it look so easy but in my case its a pain in the ass.
Have a 01 Dodge 2500 4x4 diesel. Push the brakes sometimes it stops, sometimes it doesn't. Start braking and then the pedal just kind of goes crazy, push harder and the pedal pushs back. I have let off and push again or put it in neutral to stop.
Excellent video 👍👍👍
Thanks for the help 🇺🇸
Excellent job!
Great video very detail and easy to understand
it's an awesome video very good details, only thing i wish you would let us know where to find the part number. 5 star video.
excellent work thank you very much for the video

I just replaced mine on a 2015 . The new one said to take out my old push rod and spring and install in the new one e en the new one had its own . Well I didn’t and it caused problems. Cruise control and other were inop. It turns out that the push rod in the new pump was to short and kicked in a safety feature on the truck .
Thanks! I learned a lot!

Great Video well narrated!!!!
Many thanks John for the great feedback, its much appreciated. Make sure to subscribe.
Mine is leaking from what I would call a weep hole at the bottom of the booster. What might cause it to leak from there? But definitely will be using this video to replace the booster pump since it is making the whining noise and leaking fluid
