7.3 YES-NO
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.

Of all the upgrades I’ve made this one is my favorite. The braking feel is night and day difference, it’s worth every penny. I recommend installing the super duty P/S pump at the same time you do the vacuum pump delete kit. It makes it slot easier to install the P/S pump with the fan shroud removed. The delete kit doesn’t include two 18 gauge wires or splice connectors which you will need to wire the new vacuum pumps. For the price I think the kid should include these.

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.
New to me 96 with the E4OD had burnt sockets which caused a hard trans shift. Bought this, swapped in, worked like a dream. Do go with the lower wattage 912 bulb.
Great Product. High quality craftsmanship and parts. Functions and looks great!
Great kit that fixes the notorious door handle weakness on OSB Fords. Easy and straight forward, beginner friendly, the kit even comes with the plastic panel rivets (which you are definitely going to break taking the inner panel off). Basic tools plus a rivet gun are all you need. It's Simple!
The bracket i needed for my 1996 EB bronco arrived pretty quick. It was very well made but for the price i expected it to be a direct fit. i had trouble getting the holes to line up and ultimately had to loosely thread in the top bolts then beat the bracket into place in order to get it to line up all the way. It went on with some physical persuasion and i expect it to hold up so really no complaints. i just wish i looked a little harder before i ordered the driver side pivot arm bracket as well. hopefully i can return that.
Very sturdy , really like the short tucked in design.
I feel they need to add some adhesive where some of the push clips are to shallow of a hole to hold in. But quality of this is awesome
Added these (2”) to my truck along with the superduty leaf spring shackles to level my truck to match the RSK kit in the front. Leveled it out nicely. With the boomerang shackles, shackle flip kit and superduty springs it lifted the rear of the truck about 2.5inches total.
Very nice quality, fit excellent, worth waiting for them to be back in stock.
Extremely pleased of the new look set of mirrors from OBS Solutions. Cannot wait to purchase more items for my F150.
