if you tapped the threads all the way, then it wont get tight until it goes all the way. You should not have tapped them all the way down, I did prob 3 solid threads with a half thread on top and bottom, i didnt use tq wrench but i imagine around 45 ft lbs.

chew the threads up, destroy them, take em out, so that it will only tighten to certain spot, first try to make it work how you have it now, tighten it down tight.

Ya tapping it to deep won't allow you to get it tight enough and will leak. Teflon tape it  if that doesn't work you can always try what was stated above. If all else fails re drill and tap to 3/8  still works perfect and just be sure not to over tap it.

I havent followed this thread since i did my assist in 06, so Im not sure what has been discussed since then....

Ive been running the parts mentioned in this thread plus a cooler. http://www.etrailer.com/Transmission-Coolers/Derale/D13250.html

When I had the 3.0 in my 4runner I was drilling out the pumps and going through them quite fast, faster than I realized. I started to pay attention after I swapped to a 3.4 and the 3.4 pump and I realized I was only getting 2 or 3 trail days out of a pump (OE or rebuild). So I bought a pump from oreillys with a lifetime warranty and kept a trail spare. On long wheeling trips I would have to change the pump in camp. Then I put in a stock unmodified pump, with a stock res (my large one leaked a little). That pump lasted over 2 years. I have not noticed a performance difference.

just my .02

i am almost finished building my solid axle swapped 94 4runner with a 3.4L in it. i just got the steering done today, and noticed that it is normal to steer when the truck is off... but when i start the truck, its hard to steer. its comparable to having a welded 3rd in the front with manual steering...

i drilled out the restrictor on the 3.4L pump, but im wondering if the pump is dead... cause i honestly cant steer worth a damn... also, driving on the dirt road on my property, the truck bump steers like CRAZY!

any ideas?

couldnt find my 22re pumps, but i found a bunch of 3.0 pumps, and modified the brackets, the pulley, and the reservoir to work. so now i have power steering again, and its AWESOME with the assist!

So I was going to tap my box last night but when I when I got on here for instructions, none of the pictures would load.  Same thing on the instructions on wildyoats.  We tried a couple different phones and computers. Same thing.  Is it just me or are the pictures gone?  I'll try that you tube video later.

None of the pics work for me either. Just a 404 error...

Good, so I'm not crazy. 

So I took some bad advice on doing this.  I was basically under the impression, that you would have to be an idiot to drill all the way through the top vein, and that you can totally tell when it hits it.  Nope.  Apparently not when you have a brand new, very sharp 1/8" drill bit for the pilot hole.  That damn thing just kept on cruising, and I was through the other side before I knew what hit me.  I didn't feel the drill bit sink or anything.  SO...apparently I'm an idiot.

I dont use a pilot bit on them, its not needed, the box material is soft, and a small bit goes too fast and makes it hard to see when you hit it

Well I finally tapped a box correctly and got this to work.  It's awesome!  This made the truck so much easier to drive down the road.  No more crazy bump steer or wiggles.  I don't have to slow way down for potholes anymore.  I can't way to test it on the trail this weekend.
