D'oh....   Leave Tom alone I like his band width wastefulness, it keeps me 
entertained, plus, the best Ideas come from brain storming, keep it up 
Tom!;)

>Hydraulic Brake Booster & GM 6.2L diesel

I'm pretty sure they used the hydraulic setup for diesels 'cause of the 
drawbacks on vaccum with the diesel engine.  Dont quote me, but it makes 
sense, I wouldn't think it was a space issue, it would have been cheaper 
for GM to over come the space limitation and use the regular vacuum booster 
if possible.  My freind just converted his 1-ton dump from 6.2 diesel to 
350 gas, kept the hydro brakes.  You need the special combo power 
steering/brake booster hydraulic pump or some other means of getting 
hydraulic pressure.

  	Thanks to everyone for help with my questions the other day, What 
happened to Steve S, haven't heard from him yet, I thought for sure he was 
the guy who was running the Malllory dist from Summit!
