Im sorry trash... I do have a double ended ram. My bad. In the beginning I was so hydro dumb that I didnt even thing there was a difference between double and single ended rams besides the obvious.

Well I'll be dipped I missed it not once, twice but three fawking times minimum. :haha:
Nothing to be sorry for, all cylinders react the same so it really doesn't matter if it's double or single ended in the big picture.
It is a huge deal to only have 3/4" of bore available for steering, that's the whole issue right there. You can mod the balls out of the pump and make it work but that's the bandaid I was talking about. A properly sized ram to steering valve ratio will work great with a stock pump. You have to up the pressure when you want to use a larger volume valve or smaller ram to get the speed of the steering up.

Earlier on in the thread Boxboy pointed out that it was a double ended ram. At that point it should have sent an alarm off and I should have asked about the rod size. Hell even a single ended with a rod that big would be an issue......Oh well. Maverick I do think you're on the right track now.:awesomework:

FACT! I had to mod my pump back when I was running a 2x1x6" ram. I couldn't turn left to save my ass until I did that... Now with a 2x3/4x7 it is about perfect.

See I'm not as dumb as I look. And you'll just have to assume I look dumb since I type like a stooge and you've never met me:hi:

Ok so I got it all taken apart yesterday and when I got the pump out of the res the magnet was COVERED in metal and the fluid was steel grey. WTF? Is this from my pump getting destroyed or could there be other problems? I am gonna pull the ram off today and all my lines. Clean out all the lines and then wait for all my new parts.
As for getting a new pump, I am gonna start with a napa stock pump. No mods. Is this good or should I bore it out a little for flow and take some shims out for pressure? Any one have ideas about this?

Hip you'll e fine, they put together nice systems. When you piece stuff together you really have to pay attention or just get lucky like I did. :redneck:
Clean everything well enough to eat off. Like massive flushing, If you dont your next 'set-up' is doomed.

It works great now.. It was not that hard either, plus I learned a lot. I just had some wrong parts. Let me know if you want to wheel some time. :beer:
