Jus finished up my full hydro on my 90 ram. Stock p/s pump 2inch ram turning 40s no resivors or coolers. Its turns the tires back and fourth no probs without stopping. When u do stop the intial first turn is hard. Dnt matter if its center or left or right. It was puking fluid out the pump cap off the bat I aassumed it was air. Its a eaton orbital valve. Flows 9.7 I think. Is my powet steering pump weak or wats the deal here
A 2 inch ram on full hydro is a little anemic IMHO, Most of the guys that I run with, including myself, run a 2 1/2 inch ram on rigs lighter then a full size dodge ram.
You need to do some more research, like delete this thread and read more. No res and no cooler is asking for trouble. Building a cheap full hydro system isnt easy, dont look at it like a challenge cause it will only cost you more in the long run.
Well still no luck. Did the west texas off road pump trick and added a resivor still acts the same. I havent got a cooler yet. But I dont think its the prob it acts like this soon as u try turning. Need help!
I have the 2 inch ram and was having a hard time turning 42s. I went to the 2.5 and it works great. I did have an issue where my resi. was to samll but I am about to run a 2 gallon resi.
