6.4L Power Stroke Engine and DrivetrainDiscussion of the 6.4L Power Stroke diesel engine and drivetrain in the 2008-Up Super Duty trucks. No gas engine discussion allowed except on transmissions and drivetrain that pertain to all models. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 6.4L Power Stroke engine.
1997 F350 had hydroboost. The F250 had vacuum brakes which runs off a belt driven vacuum pump. I would rather have hydro.
The 2008 Superduty has a small electric vacuum pump and reservoir for the climate control accessories and EGR only. The brakes are powered by the power steering pump.
odd because when my father in laws truck lost the vacuum pump when i was driving it, it lost the brakes also, care to explain?
Its a 97 CC F350

Not saying what comes with what but the ad you gave the link to shows the gas motor as standard equipment and the diesel motor as an option.
The vacuum brakes your referencing from the add is in the standard equipment package which would change with the diesel motor. Not saying you cant get vacuum brakes just saying that ad isn't really helping to show whether its available or not.

You might be correct.
I don't have the circular, as the dealer had it only for his own use, so it might have been in reference to the gas engine.
I have within the last few minutes run across another site which shows the vacuum brake available on gas but does not show it available on the diesel.
But then again, I could not determine whether the site was up to date and spec-ing job 3 builds.
Ford puts out a very detailed description of each job build and its changes over the previous job, but I can't find it.
I have been digging all over the net and the answer was right here on this site.

Still kind of looks like ad marketing speak like the ad you found ealier. I have no problem believing that a vacuum pump would be an option seeing as the earlier trucks had them and all just Im not sure if that info really shows for sure if its still an option on the diesel or not.
I cant look anything up past 2005 on alldata and have no idea where to find info on new truck builds.
Who knows

The vacuum brakes are supposed to be standard on Job 3 Power Strokes F-250's and SW F-350. If it's anything to think about, i saw a job 3 that had hydro boost brakes on the options list on the window sticker. I think it has to be forced by dual alts. or by some other means. SmokeyWren went over this a couple weeks ago.

The F-Superduty had hydro. All OBS F250-350s are vacuum. Per the parts catalog here at my job. A vacuum pump failure (which was common) on a SRW truck would cause problems. Thats why in 1998 (1999 models) Ford quit using them. I am puzzled why they would take a step backwards. I will take a look at some job 3 trucks today.

I see that the vacuum are standard now on F-250's, but hydro are still available. Which are better? Should I consider changing my options before I order to get the hydro-boost?
I have a job 3 Lariat SRW Crew with the heavy duty Alt. I looked up my VIN on Fords site and it lists my truck with having the Hydroboost brakes.
