Hi All, I've got an 85 Blazer with hydroboost power brakes. As it turns out I'm pretty sure the master cylinders inner seals are wearing out as it's starting to lose breaking power (completely) intermittently, I've bled the brakes and there's no leaks. My problem is that I can't find a part number for it. Has anyone had to order one and have a part number? My master cylinder does not have any casting numbers on it from what I can see. I've attached a couple photos. My Blazer used to be a diesel but was converted to a 350 by the previous owner, thus the hydro brakes.

I don’t understand, why can’t you go to your preferred parts supplier’s website and look up a m/c?

I tried, one can't get the one they list and the other (online) couldn't confirm it was for hydro or vacuum assist.

Power brakes are power brakes doesn't matter if hydro or vacuum. Order the one for your year, make, model with power brakes.

You'd think so but you'd be wrong. From my understanding the throw and diameter of the piston is different.

Partially correct. I converted my 85 from vacuum to hydro. Donor was a diesel so I swapped the whole system. The diameter of the piston may be different as well as the length of the pushrod between the hydro and the m/c. Piston diameter is related to the brake system option. Your K5 would have the smaller diameter rear drums and corresponding brake drum cylinders. Rockauto usually has them.

Go to or call a GM dealer. They will have a part number. May be discontinued, but the number will help you locate what you need.

Since you graciously provided a photo of the "KH" broadcast code sticker I can tell you the corresponding part number is 25509416.

More importantly I can say it is the same as m/c as any diesel blazer or 1/2 ton dsl Suburban (JD5) or 3/4 ton 2 or 4wd pickup with JD6.

Of course.

There is a finite library of parts to choose from. We would mix and match all the components on those charts until we got the pedal feel, travel, deceleration, durability and FMVSS compliance we were looking for.
