Hydroboost / Power Steering Filtration
Posted: December 15th, 2012, 11:35 am
Most everything on my Duramax has filters..... the flippin' tranny even has two. So why did the poor ol' Hydroboost system get left out? I guess GM was counting their pennies that day.
Well, now you can do something about it!! Meet Magnefine!
This little gizmo plumbs into the return line in your hydroboost system as uses a mechanical filter, and a magnet to catch all the trash floating around.. Genius!!
Install takes 2 minutes, really.
1. Locate this hose, and notice the straight section. Its like GM made this hose with the mod in mind.
2. Open cap to releive any pressure, and cut out a section aprox the length of the Magnefine filter
3. Install the filter with the flow going to correct way, back to the pump
4. Crack a beer after your 2 minutes of hard work.
It tucks down in there a little better than the photo shows. Its disposable, just throw it away every 30k miles or so. Dont worry if it clogs, it has a bypass feature .... so no worries.
Its cheap, I got 10 of them for $100 on ebay. A lifetime supply.
I'm putting them on every vehicle I own.
