I was wondering if you know how to use Google.

As for what to do with the lines from the ram, why don't you stick one in each ear?




If you can't handle searching, I'm not sure you're up to a hydro install.

Don't listen to these guys. I'll give you the scoop so you don't have to search.

It is called hydro steering for a reason...it uses hydraulic press to push on the ram (assist your regular power steering). You have two lines coming from the ram....one goes to the output of your automatic transmission line (easiest to splice from the line out TO the cooler)....that would be the press line..the other line of the ram goes back into the line TO the cooler. If you are running a manual trans then hydro steering simply won't work....well, without adding a modded auto trans into the driveline somewhere BUT that gets complicated and you'll have to search for that as i have no clue.

Not to hijack, but I was considering swapping some larger-than-stock tires onto my old Chevy pickup. Has anybody tried this mod before? I asked a buddy, and he said something about "Google." Has anybody heard of them? Do they make good tires?

That is another source he could tap into...Hydroboost...and see it has Hydro right in it's name.
