Which is better?
While looking up brake parts from LMC, I found that there are 2 types of boosters, Hydraulic and Vacuum. Which would be better to have and would there be any difficulties installing or changes switching one from another.
Currently my truck has a Vacuum booster.

RE: Which is better?
Of course stick with your factory vaccum style booster. The hydraulic booster gets hydraulic pressure from your power steering system and requires a decent amount of modification to the system from what i've seen. The only people that switch to hydraulic are guys who build up muscle cars and have a huge cam in the motor which in turn means very low vaccum. So with a hydraulic system you don't have to worry about the motor shutting off when you hit the brake. Unless you just want to spent the money and extra time on a fancy hydraulic set-up.
