Thanks for that write up - extremely comprehensive :D

I have saved this thread in my favourites and I will try to get to a local importer of American cars to see how it is fitted to the Corvette.

I very much appreciate the effort you have gone too.

Finally getting around to the final bracket to hold the PSC power steering reservoir. This places the reservoir on the brace that holds the throttle link rod setup. The reservoir is accessible through the center engine cover and is to the passenger side. I’m not sure if this will work for a stock gas truck.

Dakota,

Could you get a few more detailed pictures of the actual PS setup around the drag link and axle area? Which PS pump are you using and pictures of that as well? :)

So first, I’m running the PS pump that comes on the Cummins R2.8. So my setup is hugely unique. Second, it would likely be easier if you PM’d me and I can text pics of anything you need.

On that note, I will say I spent just shy of a week in Moab with the truck over EJS and the steering did very very well. Though there are a few things I would love to change, it did crazy good. It did not overheat, always gave way more than enough power and nothing failed.
