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.

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!
This kit was awesome! It truly is everything they say it is. I did the stage 2 with a power steering pump from Lee. I did not choose their high end pump but just the replacement version. Everything was plug and play! Took a day to do, but besides bleeding the system and bolting it on, it’s a single person job! Basic tools, and following instructions is all you need. Definitely recommend. The pedal feel is much better!
No more spongy pedal. Brakes are solid and has the stopping power you can feel. Overall installation was pretty simple and easy. OBS Solution thanks for a great product!!
good quality kit install went well and performs well
Looks amazing
Couldn’t wait to install my brake lines on my OBS ford with super duty axles. They went right on, no problems, and look great.
I loved how simple they made this kit to install and how it incorporates the cooler mounts too. Super clean and straightforward.
Almost like they read my mind. I was trying to figure out a solution for a backup camera for so long. This is absolutely perfect. Amazing fit and finish.
The part fit perfectly and was easy to install. Keep making parts I need to get another 30 yrs out of this truck
Thanks
This is one of the best kits I have ever installed the instructions were on point and easy to follow. My son and I installed it in two days. The steps one day and the wiring the other day. Super easy to do. Great kit. And most importantly they look totally rad on an OBS. Thank you OBS solutions
These went in pretty dang easy on my crew cab. Install took me a day, and most of that was just the wiring. The brackets fit perfect and they make for a sturdy step. My only hang up were the switches, after putting some noalox on the sheet metal screws they worked great.
Brake light bushing kit solved the problem. Kit wasn't available from a dealer thankfully I could get it here.
They are nicely designed and work as intended, and barely noticeable which was what I wanted, and that's why I'm not dropping a star. That said, I should also mention that $80 for a set of 4 small die cut plastic pieces is a bit too much.
