machm1970 180 Report post Posted December 29, 2016 I finally got everything together and was able to go for a short drive, so far so good. It hasn't been lined up yet so it wouldn't be fair to comment on return to center. My factory pump works great, turns easy at idle. I heard alot of bad things about the Borgeson hoses made ($33) I also slid heat protecting sheathing over the hoses ($33 from Summit). I ran the hoses straight down from the box and secured them to the frame rail with Adel clamps, I then ran them forward through the factory bracket and insulator. If the weather holds up I will drive it a little more and hopefully get it lined up next week. I left a big loop in the return line while I look for a cooler Matt Attachments 8 yapedVem, JdasonAnowl, Selmadox and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Machspeed 219 Report post Posted January 4, 2017 Did you change out the drag link to a manual link? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machm1970 180 Report post Posted January 4, 2017 No, I planned to, but I couldn't find a used one and I just replaced the idler arm on mine last year. I went with the adapter for $155. If it goes out I will replace the pitman arm, drag link and idler together. Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
