Vacuum-operated boosters make use of the disparity in vacuum pressure of the engine and the atmospheric pressure, hydraulic boosters on the other hand use the hydraulic pressure from the power steering pump or an electric assembly. GMC Sonoma of the years has occasioned vacuum and hydraulic brake boosters, although there are differences in the number of diaphragms or the diameter.
