    If you look close, you can see it uses the stock trans mount up in the top right corner. It kinda hoops around the front driveshaft. You can see how the driveshaft used to grind on the stock x member.

    Ordered the steering! Finally! I spent way less than I always thought it would be. I got a cylinder, hoses, tabs, a resevoir that replaces my Saginaw resevoir, and an external resevoir.

    Can you supply part numbers and the places you bought them. I will be doing hydro-assist in the near future.

    As far as the steering gear goes, I will assume that my gear box could use a good rebuilt. I will check prices on rebuilt ones from the parts store, but has anyone rebuilt one? Difficult?

    I rebuilt the GM box I used to have on the jeep when I tapped it for hydro assist. Fairly straight forward, I just followed the BillaVista tech thread on pirate. Just be careful on where you tap the box for the fittings.

    john, i think the pump you bought was an A1 cardone conversion pump. I dont think its the van pump especially if you have not changed out the PS and AC bracket. i've heard mixed reviews on their performance. If i was you i would go to the junk yard and get an actual sag pump, not the a1 cardone conversion.

    Yeah that is the pump I have. I will probably get a rebuilt one from the store.

    I checked and repacked the rear bearings and everything looked good. The rtv I had used between the hub and axle shaft crumbled away on one side so I 'right stuffed' it back together. Also cleaned some K Rocks from the bead of one tire, so now only 1 leaks.

    I think the first thing would be to remember which side the airbox is on

    Clarke tapped my box yesterday. (insert Ed comment here)

    I now need some male to male -6 to 1/4 npt fittings and will be good to go. I think ram mounting will be my only concern now. The leafs are in the way and clearing the diff cover will be an issue.
