OBS Solutions Hydroboost Brake Upgrade Kit (1987–1997 Ford F-Series)
⚠️ Please read the entire product description and instructions before ordering.
Looking for a serious brake upgrade for your 1989–1997 OBS Ford truck? The OBS Solutions Hydroboost Kit is the ultimate bolt-on upgrade that ditches your vacuum-assisted braking system and replaces it with powerful hydroboost technology—delivering unmatched stopping power, especially when towing or running larger tires.
💡 What is Hydroboost?
Hydroboost uses hydraulic pressure from your power steering system instead of engine vacuum to assist your brakes. This translates to:
-
Stronger braking force
-
Less pedal effort
-
More consistent performance under load
Perfect for daily driving, towing, off-roading, or anyone tired of soft pedal feel and inconsistent vacuum boosters.
✅ Key Features:
-
Direct bolt-on system using your factory brake pedal, firewall, and master cylinder
-
Eliminates the need to chase down old or obsolete F-SuperDuty hydroboost components
-
Compatible with stock or Super Duty axles
-
Perfect solution for trucks with poor vacuum or underwhelming braking performance
🔧 What’s Included in Each Kit:
-
(2) Pressure lines and (1) return line with clamps (unless you're using an engine swap – see options below)
-
Fittings to connect to your OEM or Super Duty-style power steering pump and steering box
-
Brass Y-fitting for return line merging (unless you choose the Super Duty pump upgrade)
🛠️ Upgrade Options:
Super Duty Power Steering Pump Upgrade
Swap in a later model Super Duty power steering pump with built-in dual return ports. This eliminates the need for a Y-fitting and increases fluid capacity for smoother operation.
Electric Vacuum Pump Kit for 7.3L Diesel Engines
Still running a 7.3L IDI with a bulky vacuum booster? This electric vacuum pump upgrade frees up horsepower and cleans up your engine bay.
Kit Includes:
-
Electric vacuum pump
-
Custom mounting bracket
-
New belt tensioner
-
Correct-length serpentine belt
(See installation instructions linked at the top of the page.)
🔄 Application Notes:
-
Fits all 1987–1997 Ford F-Series trucks (F-150, F-250, F-350)
-
For Super Duty axle swaps with rear disc brakes, we recommend using a 2005 6.0L master cylinder
-
Retains stock master cylinder in most other applications
-
Works with both gas and diesel engines
⚠️ Important Reminders:
-
Please notify us if your steering box uses a 4-bolt cap, as you’ll need a different fitting setup. (This is common in late 1997 models.)
-
This kit does not fix existing brake issues—it enhances your system’s performance assuming everything else is in good condition
