« on: Aug 27, 2015, 07:19:59 PM »
ok so got a 95 tbi 4.3 motor swap in my 81, i have it running and driving, my problem is my power steering is boiling up after only a few min of having the front hubs lock, so far i have added a larger cooler and its right in front of my fan so its getting air pulled thu it, i have changed the pump twice, double and triple check to make sure the lines are not plugged and switch the gear box  out still having the same issue. any ideas?!?!?!?! iam at a lost
