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.

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!
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!!
Purchased the 10” of travel Bilsteins for my 1984 bullnose to pair with a 99 Dana 60 RSK swap. Came quick and price was very competitive. Plan to purchase another set for the rear now to match my Sky's shackle flip.
Very easy Install, and looks great. Works way better than the original hood springs.
Replaced the old hood springs with these gas filled struts and let me tell what a difference it is to open and close the hood…pure bliss.
It wasn’t easy to adjust the doors correctly to the new hinges and strikers but was worth the work. Soon I’ll be installing the power amp steps so this was a must.
Super easy install

Clear instructions and easy install if you are alittle handy. Completely enhanced the light quality and no more ugly yellowing plastic lenses. I should have bought this a long time ago. Worth the money
