breaks are done. i put another orbital on today and that one is the wrong one too. so i may just scrap the full hydro idea and put a steering box back on it. im really getting frustrated with this pile of .

Don't give up on it. My buddy has the same p/s stuff you have and it whined like crazy until he found out that the low pressure side was running vacuum line (our local hydraulic guy said its a common mistake) which was making the line collapse and restricting flow. Once he put the correct hoses on there is made a world of difference. I'd make sure you have the correct lines running to everything before you give up.

I do, i installed my roommates orbital and it ran tits. its just the orbitals that i have arn't the right ones. i am really getting tired of taking them on and off. waisted a lot of power steering fluid already.

well i finished up the bumpstops today. so the only things left are the coil overs and i have to find an orbital valve somewhere.

I'd have to 3rd the pacesetter idea. I didn't think they'd be all that great but after I got mine for my tacoma I was actually very impressed. Great price and actually a very nice product at least for the Tacoma. Nice thick flange and nice welds. The only complaint I have was that I had to already replace the lower downpipe gasket with a good copper one, and the paint instantly flaked off. No biggy though I still really like it.

Hyena · « **Reply #2748 on:** Jan 27, 2009, 06:07:13 PM »

ya the paint didn't last, i haven't checked the lower gasket yet.

gotrocks · « **Reply #2749 on:** Jan 27, 2009, 06:14:36 PM »

mine came out within the first 200 miles. Kinda pissed me off because i was driving on the highway and had an hour to go. I hate exhaust leaks.

TIMS89CRAWLER · « **Reply #2750 on:** Jan 27, 2009, 09:38:32 PM »

the paint on those damn things never last....

cover it with header wrap, that way you don't get pissed off everytime you look at it.

Hyena · « **Reply #2752 on:** Jan 28, 2009, 07:00:57 PM »

i don't care really. if you notice my header looks likes crap then you haven't seen the rest of the truck!
