And it's not even Christmas :)
i started with the steering pump first should have a pic up soon .. but you can upgraded it if its a saginaw by just doing a few steps... i found this out from westtexasoffroad.com check it out if you get a chance in the tech part. its pretty cool if ya want more out of your power steering...
heres where i had to put a longer neck on the pump because the ram will need more fluid to operate and not burn up the pump

Is the ram A 1.5" or A 2"? The only reason I ask is I have A 2" on my other rig, and on the road there is A slight steering lag, but I can turn lock to lock with one finger at a standstill with 42" pitbulls:D I have heard that the 1.5s are more road friendly but allitle less output. Keep the pics coming:D
On A quick side note. I wouldnt recomend welding the ram to the diff cover, I made A 1/4" rockring for my 60 front, and it tore 2 bolts out of the housing and bent it to heck:rolleyes: There is allot of preasure there:eek:
remote resevoir man. then you can put it where its easier to fill. :pQuote:

its all chevy parts im running a sb 350 but im not running a booster the truck stops just find but i did upgrade to a dual bowl master cylinder that thread is on here some where... also it is a 2" ram and i do plan on not mounting it to the diff cover.. i think im going to go off my spring perch instead but still thinking about it...

That is where mine is mounted on my Chevy, no problems in 2 years running it that way.
That will work W/O taring things apart that I had. Your going to love the ram steering:D you can whip the wheel with A couple of fingers:happy10: On my most current setup im running H/B hydro setup and A cooler, and my biggest problem is getting the air out from the system:mad:. Im still working on that one:rolleyes: Also on POR they talked about running some hydraulic oil more like AW46, thats what I run in my setup, its hydraulic oil for hydraulic systems. Im not atall A hydraulic guy, but thats what those systems run:rolleyes:
heres something else we are restoring in the shop for a customer

Awesome build man. Im active duty military right now about to go on deployment. i thought about buying another M715 while im over seas and send some money home for parts. but i dont think i have enough time right now to make it look right! im wanting to go down the same road as you. Take it easy and keep it up. hope this site is around if i ever get out of the military.

Awesome build man. I was wanting to do a build when i get back from deployment in October. but i see being active military, theres no where near enough time to do what you guys are doing to these trucks to make them right. Can only hope that this site is around when/If i get out. Take it easy and keep up the good work!
Britt
Rusytbritt. Where are you deploying? I am currently at camp Phoenix in Kabul.
