Does anyone know if those Hydroboost units off the larger mid duty ford chassis trucks from the mid 80s that had the electric pump backup would fit on our trucks instead of the little wimpy accumulator that only gives you one good backup stop in event of a stall.
I ask after a little er incident a couple weeks ago pulling up to the house and my e fans had been running full tilt all day dragging the 5er in insane over 100 deg heat and I just ran out of juice as I was downshifting into lowand stalled out and didnt have enogh for the trailer brakes so into the ditch the 5er went. ( did I mention I live on a fairly steep hill ) Thankfully , after we got er jumped off with one of our cars and charged up enough to run everything, the low range on the brownie walked it up out of teh ditch like it was flat ground, but i'd rather not repeat that. I'm getting a high amp alternator built up to keep the batts chatged up to take care of that end of it, but I'd really like to have a bit more stopper backup and Ive driven those hydroboost systems with the electric backup befoer and they work great. That little pump on those things will grind away as long as you need or at least until someone can jump out and throw some chocks under the beast if youre in a bad spot
