Default Hydrobooster?

so, looking into doing a hydroboost conversion and need some info. i have been looking at Vanco's set up and some other ones, but i wanted to know if any one has used a hydroboost unit from an Chevy astro van or the later models of dodge and ford full size pick ups? trying cut out most of the vacuum operated components in my rig(since diesel's do not produce vacuum), and have better braking in the field. anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum. Some XJs were equipped with the Bendix9 system which is a hydro boost system. It runs off an electric pump rather than the power steering.

But it's prone to failure.
