    power steeing pump upgrade

    Gday

    Does anyone know if you can upgrade the power steering pump. I have installed a cooler which helps abit but it still cuts out at inappropriate times. I dont really want to adjust the relief valve as it in under enough stress on 35's at 12psi

    maybe and F-truck pump or something?

    Cheers

    Hydro assist? There may be underlying issues i havent ever had a problem running the 35's on my Q. I think hydro assist would be the go you can get kits relatively cheap nowadays and are easy enough to fit.

    you must be one of the lucky ones, I know quite a few of people on diferent makes and models who have had power steering issues with larger tyres.
    I only have the issues on the 35's off road and its better with the cooler, but it stalls usually when I'm in a rut or something, on the vid of me doing little red I paused slightly just after I changed my line at the bottom of the hill that was because I had no steering

    Wow Ben e Boy, Mate i have never had a drama with 35s on my GQ, Simex or big 35 coopers which are 315/75s. Never a drama.

    You may look at going to a GU box as they are a bigger unit mate and will handle a little more.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I'm hearing you but its not the box that is the issue the pump is stalling, in reality i'm am giving it hell it usually has pretty much the whole weight of the ute on the steer tyres when it stalls
    I have just emailed superior engineering about their hydro assist kit, but its for a toyota, so I dont know how i'll go with it

    Unable to pump enough fluid and the steering wheel lags and stalls, If your leaning hard on your steering wheels or in a Rut that fights your steering box you can get it to stall up. It used to happen to my HZ Wagon all the time.

    Ben is the actual Steering Pump the same size in a GU and GQ??

    couldnt tell you mate, I would think it is considering the motor is the same, In the way of upgrade I mean something with a higher set relief valve. I could try and adjust mine but I suspect the extra load will be distributed to the steering box. not worried about the steering arms, they are 4140 chromoly

    no steering mate its locked. well it isnt lock I just dont have the physical strength to turn an un-aided steering rack with big tyres at low psi, I need to give it a rev to make it sipn faster then it'll turn,
