Hi All
I went and “upgraded” my power steering pump with redhead over a year ago (shaft, hogged it out, etc) but, did DID NOT do the hydro assist.
This issue I am having has been posted (by me) about a year ago. After talking with redhead they are convinced it’s a volume issue. They are saying that my brand new oem stock power steering pump is not pushing enough volume fast enough (that thing was not cheap). They also had zero recommendations even though all their 80 series customers have no issues they know of.
Is anyone running a higher output power steering pump and, if so, what are you running? What did it take to get it all hooked up/functioning?
This “upgrade” has been a snowball effect I never wanted but here we are. Any help on aftermarket pumps by any of you that are running them is appreciated.
