a few pics.. got it finished today.

i found out some info on my pump today... kind of surprised. The pump is easily found as the power steering pump found in a 1989 chevy 3500. (but that is a serpentine belt pully on it). you need to look at the 1986 for the vbelt pulley. the pump has a few different configurations depending...

were you the operator in it?

if i knew about them AND if i was building the kit, it would have been a option i would have considered. I am just trying to keep what i have working with improvements. Based on my setup and the current problem, ordering the bracket made the most sense.

I agree that keeping the mechanical aspect of the steering with the hydro muscle is the best idea. M-35tom seems to have way more knowledge and xperience than i do with this. my kit was in when i got the truck. (I AM NO HYDRAULIC GURU BY ANY MEANS) what i did find is that c-c equp sells a...

I dont know the answer to your questions. I didn't source out the pump and never had any reason to mess with it to verify pressures. Here is a pic from the back of the pump.

good luck.. and have fun

i have 2 single ended rams... i didn't install the system... it was this way when i bought the truck. yes when the belt fails i can still turn the wheels but only when i am rolling. 90˚ intersections become more like a 2 point turn because i can only muscle so much. its not fun at all but it...

A few weeks back my power steering belt popped and must have tweaked the bracket holding the pump. Its been throwing belts ever since. I am getting ready to rip out the radiator to have access to the front of the motor to get accurate measurements to mount it inline again. I am looking for...

i ended up replacing my electrical gauge/sender with a mechanical gauge that actually has a tube that runs back to the block. problem solved.

I was wondering has anyone been able to modify the passenger bench seat to be a air-ride? Eventually i would like to upgrade the drivers seat but i would want to do something on the passenger side. I just don't want to loose the bench and have a single bucket on the passenger side.

Thats cool. I could see if my alt was dead and i was in the market for a new one to get one of those.

very easy to bypass but you should install a pyrometer as soon as possible to prevent running the motor/exhaust temps too hot.

my bad

no problem
