Brakes, what Year S10/blazer BOOSTER is needed for the swap ? I know 1996 fits, but what other years? Thanks

i believe mine came from a GMC Sonoma 1995. Made a HUGE difference, i got good brakes now.

Why use other year boosters when the brake Booster for 96 Chevrolet S-10 2 wheel dr. fits. Below are the part numbers. They might fit other vehicles.

Cardone 54-71061 Summit 760125 *Tough Stuff 2232N Kit *only one that can be directly used with Rodney Dickmans adapter end.
Cut off Fiero Rod 4.312” Long Thread 3/8-16 threads
Cut S-10 booster rod at banjo hole. Thread S-10 Cylinder rod 1.5” Long.
Use threaded longnut to attach rods together.
Extend actuator Rod to 9 3/8” Body to Center hole measurement use. Use nuts to tighten in place using Locktite
Use Fiero bracket

I used the Tuff Stuff booster with Rodney Dickmans adapter end. You can also buy a completed unit from Sardonix on this forum. These choices are nearly plug and play only because a small amount of space must be opened up for the larger booster to fit. One of the best effective inexpensive mods that I've ever made.

Simple,because a NEW 1996 booster costs $150, any other year that "Also fits" can be had for $35 "delivered" USED and still looking good.

I doubt if other year GM boosters would fit as well Don't know of any "also fits" units You can get a rebuilt Cardone S-10 on Amazon for $86. If you are talking about a $35 brake booster delivered that cheap a price usually signals no brand Chinese. You are only going to do this mod once so even the total unit shouldn't be more than $120. BTW, whats your Fiero worth?

I always use USED "warranteed used GM boosters". I've NEVER had a booster go bad in 40 years

I was under the impression that this was a great booster to use as already has the correct/close to correct rod. A while back I was referred to it. Can anyone comment on if this is accurate?

That is the correct booster but I still believe you need to change the rod out. Rodney's site even links that booster for his kit.

That's Rodneys rod end that extends the actuator rod to the correct length on the Tuff Stuff (Hurst) booster.
