Asked by Matthew Ward, August 31, 2019

Q: I changed my original 1979 bronco power steering pump to a Saginaw P series power steering pump. Will this work with a Saginaw P series power steering pump?

1 Answer

Answered by sales - September 4, 2019

A: Yes, in fact we recommend the P pumps over the stock pump, as the performance and pressure is better for the additional demand. We would expect no issue.

Asked by Chris, May 15, 2019

Q: What type of power steering fluid and how much in the reservoir?

1 Answer

Answered by sales - May 15, 2019

A: We like Swepco power steering fluid #2012, but you can use regular power steering fluid. Do not use ATF. 2 quarts should be more than enough, but we would get 3 quarts and have an extra quart on hand for top off on the street or trail.

Asked by Matt, August 23, 2016

Q: I have a 1979 f250 with Design II booster. Your system is labeled bronco/f150. Is there any reason this wouldn't work for a 250? Does this come with a proportioning valve for rear disc conversions? thanks

1 Answer

Answered by sales - August 23, 2016

A: The 3 versions cover 1965-79 F series, 1978 Bronco, and 1979 Bronco. A proportioning valve would be separate.

Asked by Vince, October 2, 2015

Q: Hello,

I am interested in going to hydroboost with this system but can't afford the $950 price tag. Can Wildhorses offer a 'bracket + hoses kit?

What year and make is the hydroboost unit from? Some of us would prefer to scavenge the booster and master cylinder but need the adapter bracket and correct hoses.

Thanks,

Vince

1 Answer

Answered by sales - October 5, 2015

A: We do not offer a bracket separately for the Hydroboost system. They are designed for the 78-79 applications specifically, and are new units. We do have a separate hose kit #3065.

Asked by Shawn, June 26, 2013

Q: If the engine is off will u still be able to manually stop the vehicle like vacuum boosted brakes?

1 Answer

Answered by 8578 - June 26, 2013

A: Just like the vacuum boosted brakes you will have one or two easy pedal presses. Then the system will be harder to press but will still operate the brakes.

Q: I have a 1975 highboy with a dana 60 in the front and disk in the rear as well,will this hydro boost set up work in my truck,I have a 1979 cab,all stripped down ready for paint ,want to go hydroboost

1 Answer

Answered by WH tech - March 26, 2013

A: I can't give you any reason it won't work. The booster is designed to bolt into the 79 cab. As with any custom work we can't plan for every possible scenario i.e. different motors and different accessories. Most people building the projects adapt everything to work together. One thing for sure is you will love the results in braking power.

I sent pictures of my booster prior to placing my order to ensure I received the correct setup. I was told I had a type !! booster and then placed the order. The system arrived and the pedal displacement was incorrect. I called the technical advice section and was initially told to call hydratech. That was disappointing since I had seen good reviews on my forum about wild horse customer service. I sent the representative a picture of what I received as well as pictures of what other forum members with the same booster received. He quickly noticed my frustration and informed me they would send the correct pedal rod. What I received wasn't close to what I saw others receive and did not fix the problem. I then called Jim at hydratech, who informed me the rod end has to be match with the hydroboost system and I had received was a type I, the wrong one for my truck. I then call WH back and they quickly got the correct system to me, it fit perfect.

Finally had the time to do the install. Don't know why I waited so long, but in less than 6 hours my truck was back on the road. Would have gone faster had I remembered to buy brake fluid. Holy moly does it stop my truck.

Great product that has all you need, without chasing pieces or parts. Only problem was bad o-ring on low pressure side. So good I'll be ordering another for my '77 Crew. Clean look and now can run a bigger cam!

Easy to install and setup. My truck is 78 f150 with 351m and 35" tires. Only change I made was had custom crimped lines made for high pressure hoses. My truck brakes work great like my 2012 f250. Should of done this upgrade long time ago. Highly Recommended !

Just need to make sure everyone knows how great the experience was working with you all. You followed up with me on product availability I never had to call back you kept me informed and beat the time frame originally given. Great service is a rarity these days. Oh and the product is amazing fantastic build quality and most the parts a guy will need. I have a very custom setup and still only needed a couple fittings

Great kit, although my Bronco has had the 460 engine swap and needed to purchase after market relocation bracket for the power steering to move elbow away from steering linkage. That being said, the kit was as advertised. If it still had the 351 or 400m I wouldn't have needed the relocation bracket. Very impressed with this kit! Engine has a big cam and the factory set up was worse than "flintstone brakes" This thing will put you through the windshield now! Very responsive at all speeds in stopping this big truck. I highly recommend this kit to anyone with high performance engines with vacuum issues in braking. Only recommendation would be to add the relocation bracket to the kit as an option, if Bronco has big block engine conversion.
