Only 37's.....:grayno:

LOL!! We're working on it

geez Eddie, an auto trans, and now power steering? you really cheating aren't you?

What can I say, I'm getting old

 

[wayoflife]

What exactly is this? I get its a ram assist. But if I was to go to Northridge Nd search for it, is that what I would search for? Is it just a better power steering? I hear a lot of talk about it. Just don't understand exactly what it does. >.<

It's a hydraulic ram that helps provide steering input. When you're running big tires, your footprint will be big enough to make steering difficult and this will help out a lot.

Have you double checked to make sure your steering wheel is centered? I've put on a lot of miles today and don't have any problems. Same is true on Moby

I did check the steering wheel on an alignment machine with a procal. 95% of the time it doesn't kick on but when I get into banked s turns and pushing it is when I have the problem.

Could just be a body roll issue then.

Thanks for the input. I have not thought about that but I bet you are right.

The Ram Assist is my next big purchase. I'm probably doing that next year, but I still can't imagine pushing those ATX Slabs and your 37s without the assist. My Racelines are light compared to those monsters. What a workout!

NEVERRRRRRR admit it!!! As long as we're still pushing forward, we're still young enough to do what we want. :rock:

We need to change out our pump as well,not enough pressure at idle.:yup:

Depending on what size tires you're running, you need more than just a new pump but rather, a ram assist to help things along :yup:

Yep,rebuilt and tapped our steer gear,added PSC ram.Stock pump not giving the ram the pressure it needs.Also added steering cooler

 

[Tcdawg]

What size rams are you all using that can't be pushed by the stock pump? I have seen 1.5"diameter rams work with the stock pump.

 

[familytime2]

Not so much the size but moving the ram at low idle.The stock pump works fine above idle
