Good Eye
I'm working with Mace and 4x4 labs on a top secret rear steering setup that uses an Heim joint on the rear of the steering arm. It will eliminate the Drag link. The articulation is what is killing the design.

The ram I need for this rig is 7 1/8" stroke. PSC installed the 7/8" spacer block in an 8" ram ram. No Charge.

I ran into electrical problems last night. Since I was tired I decided to call it a night.
This morning I am seeing things a little more clearly and I found a few problems.
First Problem Solved
When you install a new fuse block. Don't forget to install the fuses! LOL!

Make sure your filter is full of diesel and that you can hear the fuel solenoid click when 12v is to it. this will save you alot of trouble. I cracked all four lines on mine and turned the motor over until one spewed out, then closed that one off, and cont..
Things im sure you know, but Goodluck! cant wait!

Stock as in a Cummins mounting style one hi flow output one designed for a 30' cargo van? Yes.
I checked with the guys at PSC and they said to try it first and if I need it rebiuld to send it to them and they wil modify it and rebuild it.
They did recommend going with one of thier rebuilt/modified ones if I was going full Hydro.
The new 2F pump I used on the previous 2F had no problems.

Now I'm not sure what's happend in my case .. so not sure If I need to buy a new pump or what ..
I mail back to Kelvin at PSC with no more answer ..

Batteries are charging.
My Blue 1976 FJ 40 would not put out the juice to Jump Start it.
I have my Tow Rig connected to it now.
The Pulse/trickle charger was just not pulsing and trickling fast enough.

My blue top has treated me well. Everyone who has problems with them does not DD their rig, from what I've observed

How bout the 2 yellow tops that just died in my camper (less than a year old) that was plugged into a charger the entire time??
optimas are a crap shoot with quality now a days. DD or not, they should actualy be able to last.
