Lemme guess, you got a reman hydroboost from a parts store and it didn't come with the plunger and spring and star-retainer? I really dunno why rebuilders are always leaving those off, it ain't like they're wear items. A guy on the FSC board just went through that mess last fall, luckily for him I had a spare setup from a little project I was messing with a while back - this was a Chevy setup tho, never had any Ford parts cause I run Chevy booster in my own truck, besides I never seem to find F-Superduty trucks in the junkyards...

Did you contact them, I'm sure they could get it there by then if they have what you need...

I was joking ... I wouldn't take the $$$ unless it cost me $$$, I'm not a money grubbing greedy person.

If I could get them to you by then, I would and it wouldn't cost you any more than it cost me.

-Enjoy

Yah, same here, and I did find one F-Superduty last week at the U-Pull-It, but it had no cab and the hydroboost was already robbed off it...

what do ya use (least costly) for the rear disc brake conversion?
what would those required to have an e-brake for inspections do?
that would be a nice mod.

The superduty's have an e-brake on the rear of the tranny instead of at the rear wheels. The Superduty I have to chop has rear disc brakes, I've debated whether to bother taking the parts off, but even if I do, I can't forsee using them on anything myself.

what year is that? My dads 02 and my work 99 both have the e brake on the rear axle. It's inside the hub of the rear disk.

I believe they are referring to the F-Super Duty (F450), as in up to '97. Not the 99 and up Super Duty.

Yes, the earlier superduty. My '01 Superduty also has the drum e-brake on the rear axle. Personally I hate it, since the poor design of the rear brakes means I've had to replace rear rotors almost every time I've replaced rear pads, and with that rotor/drum combination, they are expensive to replace!

well, they changed their prices. 50 for the rod. 25 for the spring and 10 or 15 for the keeper. Was 107 including shipping. Coms out to 260 including the hydroboost unit. Not bad since ford is 380 plus tax. Save 100.....
