[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 296983, member: 483"] So you would prefer to tow a 20' loaded trailer without boosted brakes??? And what do you mean by it leaked some fluid out while you were driving? If it leaked enough to make the brakes stop working then the pump wasn't working either and your steering was affected also. Unless the system just explodes this isn't something that happens quickly as you drive. They don't just randomly expel fluid y design. The leak was probably there beforehand resulting in the fluid level being low. But obviously something very rare happened to you that doesn't happen to 99.999999% of properly operating HB setups. HB has a small pressure accumulator built in to give you one or two assisted pushes of the pedal before completely going dead in the event of pump failure, that's more than vacuum boost gives you. And if the pump does die the brakes still act as manual brakes. So its not like you have no brakes. I've never met anyone who switched to HB and didn't love it. But the added pressure does require more beef at the caliper which most aftermarket caliper companies do not build for that I am aware of. [/QUOTE]
