7.3 YES-YES
Electric Vacuum Pump Kit Instructions:
Seeking the ultimate brake enhancement for your 1989-1997 Ford F-Series Truck? Look no further than OBS Solutions Hydroboost Kit - the definitive solution to elevate your driving experience.
No more trying to find old, used or obsolete F-Superduty parts!
What's Hydroboost?
OBS Solutions Hydroboost Kit replaces your stock vacuum assist brake booster with a hydroboost unit that utilizes power steering hydraulic pressure instead of engine vacuum for braking assist. This provides a tremendous increase in braking power, requires less input from the driver and a much better driving experience, especially when towing.
This kit seamlessly integrate with your stock master cylinder and power steering pump. It also allows the use of your original stock brake pedal and firewall mounting provisions. Literally “Bolt On”.
Those equipped with Super Duty axles boasting rear disk brakes, we recommend the application of a 2005 6.0 master cylinder for optimal performance.
Kit Options:
1987–1997 Ford Truck Hydroboost Braking System Kit
What’s Included in Each Kit:
(2) pressure lines/return line with clamps (UNLESS YOU SELECT ENGINE SWAP)
Fittings compatible with your stock power steering pump and steering box/super duty power steering pump
Brass Y-fitting for clean return line integration (UNLESS YOU SELECT YES, ADD SUPERDUTY POWER STEERING PUMP)
Upgrade Options Available:
🔧 Super Duty Power Steering Pump Upgrade
Swap in a Super Duty power steering pump with an additional return port—eliminating the need for the brass Y-fitting. Ideal for clean installs and increased fluid capacity.

1995 7.3
I had the hydro boost brake system installed by my trustee mechanic on a 1989 F350 Dually two wheel drive. I have struggled to get the stock brakes to perform like I wanted even after replacing everything. I’ve drove about a hundred miles with the hydro boost system and it’s exactly what I was hoping it would be. The brake system performs like a 20 year newer vehicle. My mechanic was very impressed and said he was definitely going to install the system in one of his projects.
Thank You
My OBS is a 521 gasser running on 40’s,I installed the hydro boost and the upgraded Saginaw pump. Install took less than 3 hours. Wish I would have done this years ago. Kit was plug and play, everything lined up and hoses fit perfectly.
Extremely impressed with the performance of this Hydro boost swap for my 1996 Ford bronco. I paired this with a don’t tell my wife RACING steering pump. I run a pretty fast pace out there in the trails, open desert and being able to stop safely is a huge improvement to the handling of this machine. Highly recommend doing this kit. The ease of installation is actually eye-opening. Customer service is like no other, definitely looking forward to doing business in the future.
This is what the 7.3 brakes should have been from the beginning. After replacing my third vacuum pump, and still having lackluster brakes to show for it, I decided to pull the trigger. Installation was straight forward with basic tools, and the instructions were great…And what a difference! First time I hit the brakes I almost came out of my seat. The truck stops solidly with little effort, and no more white knuckles. Thanks OBS Solutions for a great kit!
The light went in no problem and look great at night, the only down side was I ordered the wrong one, which is on me because I didn't realize I had the metal dome light. Only recommend to double check the kit you order. Sorry for the dirty dash, its a work in progress.
Originally planned to piece together a set of links for my 99 Dana 60 axle under my bullnose ford. When adding in the time wasted trying to source different parts and hardware as well as designing them this was far cheaper and very high quality. I ended up welding the tabs to the frame. I figured if I ever decided to run no sway bar they wouldn’t hurt being there. Even when pushed to the edge of the frame there is a little miss alignment from mount to the sway bar but I doubt it would ever hurt anything. I added some 1/2 inch aluminum round stock spacers between the links at the top mount to push the links inward toward the center of the frame and that seems to have helped the alignment of the links and made the mounting position more parallel. Overall super happy with these. If sky’s has made it for the front end of my truck it’s under there.
The steering linkage upgrade for my Dana 60 axle is top shelf. The rep at OBS was excellent to deal with, Replies to my questions were very quick and helpful. The package arrived in a timely manner and in excellent condition. I highly recommend OBS for your custom parts and obs parts.
Great product! Easy to install one step closer to getting my Lighting restored!!
Excellent product and solution for my OBS Bronco
97 Ford Crew Cab - The mechanical parts/adaptors are of good quality and not too difficult to install, but the electrical instructions could be improved, and I’d appreciate a hard copy to have under the truck.
To get a clean install, I ended up removing all of the thresholds, upper seat belt mounts, and lower panels except for the driver's side kick panel. Then I removed all of the plastic wire conduit, carefully laid out the wires, and made my plan for drilling, cutting and splicing where needed. The only wires that needed to be extended were the main power and ground. Once I had wiring neatly laid out, spliced and the heat shrink installed, I reinstalled the plastic conduit. I spent 24 hours on the disassembly, wiring, and reassembly, but it turned out nice. A few grommets of various sizes like single wire, ¼” and ½” I.D. will come in useful as well as some baling wire as a wire puller/fish tool.
In the end they turned out great and tucked away nicely, but it took me 30 hours to get them installed. I recommend this adapter kit!
Very good quality re-production part for the windshield washer reservoir. The OEM pump fit perfectly.
