Nagging power steering annoyance!!!
Ok heres something to ponder, for anyone who is reading this, and may have an idea! My steering at times will be really stiff, i have replaced everything in the system on the hydraulic side (hydroboost, pump, gear box) except the power steering cooler, have the updated gm valve for the power steering pump(just havent had time to get it in). Has anyone run into a ball joint or tie rod causing this issue, beginning to think its a mechanical issue not hydraulic. It was doing this same thing before the hydroboost conversion, and my brakes are fine, so i am really leaning towards either the cooler or a bad joint somewhere, or maybe even just needing to find the hour or so to modify my pump valve....kinda frustrated with it at this point

You think?
The bar is the same in the rear but the 2WD and 4WD/AWD Front bar is Different. They wouldn't let me split production either. I have to order 25 minimum of each style bar. So that would be 75 bars minimum... or 100 if I wanted to make them all complete kits...
I know I am going to be stuck with a few kits But Even if I sold them at list price. There would only be like 4-5 kits That Would be free or that I could essentially throw away and break even. And you know it would take a while to sell that many...
I am currently looking into an alternative solution...

And im sure there are a lot of the interest in your thread that when it comes down to it wouldnt necessarily pony up.... I have learned if you want to sell 25 or something you literally have to have something like 75-80 people that show interest to amke it worthwhile.... Hotchkis has always produced good bars...

Well, just looked at the one log ive got on the truck so far, where i was trying to figure out the trans shifting issues so never even really thought to look at the fuel trims.... Everything is negative!!! Bank 1 averages about -2.3 bank 2 is about -3.9.... Guess the cam really makes a difference... Before cam swap everything pretty well stayed at 0 may have dipped occasionally to -0.2.... Looks like i need to get off my *** and get some logs in, trying to wait til i get the headers on so i can fix all the exhaust leaks this truck seems to like to have....
