Personally, this was the worst way i have ever spent money on my truck. I ordered all the parts in the list, except i got a trail gear pump instead of drilling the stock one out. i made a bigger Reservoir out of 2 stock ones, and added a cooler. The diameter of the opening for stock reservoir is not big enough to supply enough fluid for the setup. so i upgraded to a psc one. the ram described in the parts list is way to slow, the type of 90 degree fittings are very weak and break at the swivel nut(i have replaced many on the trail in a 3 day trip, clearance marks in the pan leads to this...) and the ram bent when my tire was wedged in a rock. I just got the psc ram and it is a way better part. more responsive and powerful.with the new setup, i had all the pieces disconnected, put back together without pre-filling. filled it up, turned wheels couple of times, started it up and it bled all the air out in minutes...diont waste money on this, just save up and do it the right way, or else you will be pissed off later like i was. way happier with the good stuff.

wow suck you had problems but sounds like your the only one so far. i never had any thing happen like you talked about. I used the stock ress and a small cooler and my junk moved as fast as i could move the wheel and I never broke any fitting.
I've read this a few times and I know to drill the restrictor out to 13/64"... took mine out and it's already bigger than 13/64"? Is this bad or not horrible for hydro? I'm guessing it's okay and will flow more fluid... It's not much bigger than 13/64; maybe 15/64?>>Dan
you didnt need to make yer res. bigger. Just stock size and an oil cooler was enough to keep the pump fro squeelin!? i like the sound of that.
you think it would just flow better with the larger hole.

when i put my steering box back together that sharp lip that contacts the teflon ring cut just a tiny sliver of the teflon ring. Do you think this could be giving me problems.when the truck is off and tires in the air and the ram is not bolted to axle or tie rod the ram moves at the same speed as the tires
I would say yes
My ram seems to be moving in the opposite direction of my tires.
just throwing this out there but your ram is mounted the opposite direction of the one in the diagram
Another question for ya'll.My ram seems to be moving in the opposite direction of my tires. I have the truck in the air on jack stands tires off the ground. And the ram un-bolted from the axle/tie rod.This is the diagram I used to figure out how to route the hoses.I have checked, double checked and re-checked and had my friend look at the pic and my set up. We both come to the conclusion that the hoses are in the correct order. The hose with the duct tape on it goes to the top of the steering box.
