Good to know it's a 8.25... Follow up question: do 98s have an external slave cylinder?

Are shock boots helpful?
Ive heard they can actually cause premature failure.

Try some pro comps. They're very affordable almost as much as stock replacements.

Shock boots hold water in them and that leads to rust. Bad rust if your in the salt belt
