So installed WH Moab hydroboost to BP Bronco 306 with BP front end on off road built. Fairly straightforward install, until. Very hard turning, hours spent trying to bleed air. Finally bought PS pressure gauge, idle pressure good but no high pressure. So pulled high pressure line from PS pump and trickle of fluid. Bad pump. Folks at CVF, vendor to BP, were great, sent new pump and said keep old one. So installed new pump, no help. Matt and Paul at WH were very helpful during this entire process. In frustration started pulling new hoses to check for obstruction. What do u know, new hose made at OReillys had been crimped to hard, small metal lip broke off and was partially obstructing hose. I had flow but insufficient to build pressure. New hose end appears to have solved that issue. Now will check every new hose before installation. Lesson learned.
