Gotta wait for friends to send me pics. I haven't really gotten any yet. The new power steering pump took a shit. Didn't make for a fun trip back from the rocks |

Possible that pump doesn't have the volume to support the steering box and the assist ram but I won't really know until I try another one. |

Could be possible the pump would actually be adequate if it had a smaller pulley. But it's more logical to just put a larger pump on, instead of farting around with pulley and belt sizes only to find the pump never would have adequate capacity. Well, unless you have a smaller pulley laying around. Then it's a free experiment. LOL And I'm betting that you've already thought of all that. |

I'm going to run the next one for a bit on easy stuff, then modify it for better volume and see what happens. |

Found some stuff online that should cure my steering issue for about 400 bucks. Not bad. Cheese pics The silver rig is another one I built/helped build That one's a 7mge sura motor rebuilt properly when shaved head and block, metal head gasket, 75 lbs on the bolts, etc. |

So... Update Seems my ps issue wasn't the pump. I put the high volume/pressure pump in it, longer belt, filter etc.... Still no assist. I was a little unsure at the time, it felt funny. Not low assist funny, but.....notchy. Weird. Well..... So. Many years ago I had gotten a trail gear ported pump for ram assist. Well the second trip out it started leaking like a seive. I replaced it with a used box and forgot about it. Well.... Enter bad box. So I'll take this leaker apart and put seals in it right? Clean it up a little, take the sector shaft out.... SONOFABITCH |

So after replacing the box.... Still no assist. So I removed the ram..... So I put a new trail gear ram on it. New bracket on the steering arm. Etc. So now it's got assist. Then I blew the rear end. Oops. So the guy I got the rig from still had the welded Tacoma diff so I stuck that in. I'm on the hunt for a Dana 60 now but trying to get the people I'm interested in buying stuff from to reply to me is proving difficult. |

Jesus Rix you are really throwing money at that thing. Is that just part of the sport? |

Well he gave me the other rear end. But yes.... It's not cheap. Just about anything that involves beating the hell out of a vehicle is going to get spendy. |

I’m a Dana 39. I can be had for 21 less than a Dana 60. |
