OBS Solutions Hydroboost Upgrade:

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. 


All kits seamlessly integrate with your stock master cylinder and power steering pump. The kit allows the use of your original stock brake pedal and firewall mounting provisions. It's 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:

Kit 1: Basic Hydroboost/Fittings ONLY

This is intended for trucks with engine swaps, such as Cummins or LS conversions, or other custom applications, this comprehensive kit includes:

  • Custom assembled to spec OBS Solutions NEW Motorcraft Hydroboost with pushrod clevis
  • Mounting plate, hardware and gasket
  • Hydroboost fittings to -6 JIC (x2)
  • Steering gearbox fittings to -6 JIC (x1)

Please note: You'll need to procure your own lines and additional fittings tailored to your power steering pump and non-OE components. Utilization of a stock Ford OBS master cylinder or an upgraded Ford master cylinder is required.

Kit 2: 1994-97 OBS 7.3 Powerstroke and 1989-1997 7.3 diesel IDI and 460 Gas Truck. Building upon the components of Kit 1, Kit 2 also incorporates:

Hydroboost 7.3 Centurion

This kit makes the truck stop so much better, much firmer pedal.

The overall length off the firewall was the same going from vacuum booster to this hydroboost. The master cylinder sits a bit lower with this hydroboost vs the stock vacuum booster.

Install is very easy. I would suggest test fitting all the fittings and hoses together on a bench before install. I had to clean up some threads, but nothing major.

I installed this kit using the OBS Solution lines. They are excellent and come pre clocked, so some maneuvering may be need to get them into place by yourself.

I went with a Lee Powersteering pump (CII style with Saginaw internals) The combo is amazing.

Truck runs on 37" 22.5 10 lug dually wheels and stops just as easily as a new car.

This hydroboost kit is essential I feel, this is how the truck should've left the factory.

Kit 3 hydroboost with electric vacuum pump kit

Definitely recommended to anyone.

Before my brakes were soft and some days I was skeptical of towing anything safely.

After install my brakes are firm and very responsive. I also bought the vacuum pump delete and electric vacuum pump kit. Install was easy and all parts were included, minus some wires and corrugated wiring cover.

I recommended using a Sawzall on cutting down the old idler stud and flap disc for smoothing it out over draining the coolant and removing the fan and clutch assembly.

Kit 3 fantastic

Very well put together instructions. Getting the hydro boost lines is definitely a challenge because they are pretty stiff . Other than that easy install. Brakes work much better and it’s a very clean unit 10/10
Only took about 3 hours as well start to finish

I have wanted to install Hydroboost for years. I can't believe how much better the brakes are—night and day. I love the results. I also added the new steering pump. This kit is 100% worth every penny and was easy to install.

Top Mod. 7.3 kit two.

This should be one of the first things to do if you’re looking for better preference. Super easy to install and stop’s great. Now I will feel comfortable to take my trip from Georgia and over the Rocky’s towing. I should have taken more pictures but it went together so fast.
