PSC -8 AN Steering Pressure Hose

[PSCJEFF]

12-17 Jeep JK OEM steering high pressure hoses have found to be to restrictive and have a teflon insert. Stock pumps or upgraded pumps overheat when you install larger tires and ask the small piston gear box to turn them. The heat melts the teflon insert and sends it directly into the valve of the gearbox.We have found that this restriction also can have some overall system speed issues when adding cylinder assist. PSC now has a true 1/2" ID pressure hose kit with no teflon insert that converts your pump and gear box to -8 AN for super easy install. Combine this with the -8 AN return line kit for maximum increase in flow and turning speed.

Thanks for posting this up with pics. I've seen it occur a couple of times.

Very cool! Might have to look into this

So which hoses would one get when buying the complete hydro assist setup from you?

You reuse your factory line

That's a huge size difference between the two hoses mentioned. No doubt you're getting better performance out of the 1/2 inch -8 AN sized hoses. I look forward to the day I get my PSC kit!! [emoji106][emoji51]

I'm assuming that this will greatly help with steering on the stock box?

It does two things 1.Flow is increased helping oil temp and overall turning speed. 2.Insurance your Teflon insert doesn't melt and plugs your gear box. I cannot confirm this yet, but im testing the factory ATF+4 fluid to see if this adds to problem.

Makes sense. Thanks Jeff!

So even this is an upgrade to those who already have a full PSC kit?

Yes this is replacing the OEM high pressure hose that is typically reused in any kit

Tell me about it...i just got the psc full kit a few months ago. Working fine right now, but looks like i'll be upgrading hoses sooner than later anyways :crazyeyes:

Without a ram assist would there be any improvement using them on just a stock pump and box?

Awesome thread and great info. Way to go PSC :thumb:

Just installed my kit, but thinking about getting this to add on already, would this help possibly with slower speed turning at all?

Since I may be the first to run this extra setup, I will try and take a lot of pictures and comment when I install this.
