I've put 2 of the Russell kits on and they both came with 5 hoses. Both were for classic body style tho.

Ok so I’m finally happy with my brakes. Just got the LML master cylinder on and I’m impressed. Much less pedal travel. The brake pedal is slightly harder, but I have much more confidence driving. Getting it to work is a pain in the ass but shouldn’t be bad now that I’ve figured it out.
Get an LML brake master cylinder. Find a metric double flare tool. Find 14mmx1.5 inverted flare to 6mm tube fittings. Drill out the fittings with a 17/64 drill bit. If your fittings aren’t threaded all the way to the top. Cut off the top and and use a drill bit to bevel the fitting. Cut only the flare off of the factory lines (make sure you cut it straight) remove factory fittings. Install new fittings, and flare the line. Install everything :thumb:

where did you get the 14mmx1.5 inverted flare to 6mm tube fitting?do you know the thread size of your original master?
eBay. I think the sellers name is inline tube. The 01-10 master cylinder is 12mm x 1.0
I have the everything here to make the master work, just haven’t found the time to mod the fittings, and re work lines to make it work. BTW thanks Anthony for the help awhile back on where to find the fittings.
This should work on 01-10 trucks not just LMM. I think I have less than $1000 into everything and the truck stops great. I’m considering SSBC’s calipers now.
Yea no problem. I’m still trying to find fittings that don’t need to be modded, or maybe have some made.
is this what your fitting looks like?

Yea looks like that. I cut the tip off of it that isn’t threaded so it screws into the master farther.
Those look good, I was wondering how they would do on our trucks. What ever happened to their v8 calipers?

gmduramax I got the part # for the hydro boost 1780853 but I need the # for the master cylinder . I have an 05 3500 drw , if it matters , thanks for a great post on upgrade !
Stock 17’s do not fit. I think aftermarket 17’s would clear. I don’t have any to try.
