DAMN, ROCKCRAWLING IS EXPENSIVE!!!

[MR.ROCKAPE]

I CALLED PSC TODAY FOR A POWER STEERING PUMP FOR MY BUGGY(SINCE I HAD A LITTLE ACCIDENT LAST WEEKEND) AND THEY TELL ME I NEED TO UPGRADE TO A 1400 SERIES PUMP/RES. KIT!!!THEN HE SAYS THE KIT IS $368.50:eek: AND TO IMPROVE MY LOW SPEED PERFORMANCE ANOTHER $50 FOR A DIFFERENT PULLEY!!!:rolleyes: I THINK IM GONNA BITE THE BULLET AND GIVE THEM A TRY SINCE I HAVE BEEN A BIT LOW ON ASSIST A IDLE.

That is chump change to a guy with a big ass shop who has three HARDCORE wheeling rigs and drives around in a limo!

THE SHOPS NOT THAT BIG AND THE LIMO IS CRACKMONKEYS!!!(I KNOW YOU SAW THERE WAS A WHITE GUY DRIVING???)

wow....


my PS pump gave up the ghost about 3 weeks ago. i just did a stock replacement, though- and added a bigger cooler. the one i replaced had 107k miles on it... so it probably wasnt that big a surprise.. it would be nice to have a PSC pump and a different pulley.. but i just dont see the need to spend that extra $300+50 just to get that... i have had ZERO problems, up to that point.. it has always worked very well at all engine speeds

[MR.ROCKAPE]

I THINK IM GONNA SEE IF ITS WORTH THE EXTRA $$$!!!MINE WAS THE OEM CHEVY V6 PUMP WITH A FEW MODS!!!AND IT WAS MY FAULT IT BROKE!!!(HELD THE STEERING TIGHT AGAINST THE LOCK WHILE DOING A FRONT BURN!!!):buttkick:

[Sierra Valley]

Boo hoo, my power steering pump leaks too. I just add fluid and spray with degreaser every now and then:jack:

[PizzILLA]

mmmmmhmm...

thats EXACTLY how mine ended up giving up!! THOSE GODDAM FRONT BURNS ARE SOO ADDICTIVE. i was burning out in the dirt lot next to the 7-11 in spanish springs with some friends late one night... i did like a 2 minute burn, then realized that my steering was totally not happy- for a minute it wouldnt even do anything other than squeal, locked up!!

Thank you for the new sig line!

[PizzILLA]

your totally welcome!!!!

the guys that were working at 7-11 at the said time got a kick out of rock crawlers driving over the cement barriers. i almost got stuck on them!!


but yes... front burns are sooo fun!

MINE BROKE THE PULLEY OFF!!!SO BOO HOO MY SHIAT DOESNT STEER AT ALL!!!:biggrin:

[Sierra Valley]

Im gonna put a twin stick on my dana 300 so I can front burns. Yaa:biggrin:

[Dirty Harry]

Are you going to do them like Fred Flintstone since you don't have an engine? And don't try them once you get that 360 in, your Dana 30 won't like you very much! :fight:

[Sierra Valley]

my 258 is working just fine at the moment.:wink:

[Dirty Harry]

my 256 is working just fine at the moment.:wink:

You better double check it because it is two cubic inches short! :laugh:

SIERRA VALLEY IS ALWAYS TWO INCHES SHY OF GETTING ANY!!!:biggrin:

MOST CHICKS REFER TO HIS DING DING AS AN INN-EEEE!!!!

[Sierra Valley]

Damn got me there, need coffee.


Hey rockape, just ask BB89 and Sauce and DNMIESTER who was with the super hotty after the FG party. If you werent such a sissy la la you would have seen her too.:biggrin:

[Dirty Harry]

No need to try and be slick and edit your post, I already quoted it for all to see. :mullet:

[Sierra Valley]

Durdy Harry :gives: :sure:

On another note, good to see you on this board shit talking. Better than your alter reno4x4 ego:biggrin:

Your warranty is up for even mentioning doing that with a low pinion 30 with a lockrite:shitfan:

Rockape, you could always do just the pulley to get the low speed flow, and try the pump if that dosent work. I dont think pure/full hydro needs the flow that the ram assist setups need. Mabye you could drill out the fitting on the back a bit if that does not do it, I think that increases the low speed flow without increasing the pressure. I dont like any of the pressure increase homebrew mods. Also make sure the ID of your pressure and return lines (as well as the cooler) dont cause any restrictions.

Howe, PSC and Tom Lee are the best steering places by far. I have heard and seen too many sketchy things from AGR and the "redneck ram":rolleyes:

MY ORBITAL IS ONLY 2 1/4 TURNS LOCK TO LOCK!!!SO WHEN I GET IT IN A BIND IT REALLY IS A BIATCH TO STEER!!!MY ORIGINAL PUMP WAS DRILLED,PRESSURE RAISED,AND MODDED FOR MORE IDLE FLOW!!!PSC CLAIMS THAT THE 1400 SERIES PUMP WILL FLOW BETTER AT IDLE(THAN THE CURRENT 1300) WITHOUT AS MUCH HEAT PRODUCTION,SINCE IT HAS LARGER INTERNALS.ILL TRY IT,AND MAYBE IT WILL INCREASE MY TURNING POWER!!!(THEY CLAIM IT WILL):pray:
