Hydroboost with electric backup

[boxathey]

I drive around an F550 @ work i believe it is an 1989 it does have the electric backup motor on it. It also helps set the parking brake when the engine is off.

I looked into this for a different application a few months ago. My idea was to have a pressure switch automatically kick the electric on if the PS failed for any reason. It was for a high-risk mission critical piece of equipment.

Found this in my research:

Seems to come from a Cab-over truck of some sort. (Isuzu or Volvo... can't remember) It is the primary pump on these trucks, so my guess it that it has a high duty cycle.

I guess we will never be complacent in our pursuit of the perfect truck parts to build the perfect bomb-proof truck, will we?
