    Factory power steering box leak

    Perfect, that's what I was looking for. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Factory power steering box leak

    I've been searching and looking at videos and I see how the snap ring and cap work now. The question now is are we talking about the oring on the back of the cap that I'm replacing or do I need to actually do that first teflon seal and oring on the piston?

    Factory power steering box leak

    Ok. So typically that hole is for what, an awl/punch to release the ring? I've never taken the front off of one of those. However, when it rains, it pours. During my testing/searching for the leak, I noticed the box flexing under load. From left to right etc.... Turns out there's a stress or...

    Factory power steering box leak

    Don't have an in vehicle pic but here's a stock photo. Edit: added a pic of mine. It's leaking out of this hole. Quite a bit. So if there's a leak here, what does this indicate? A bad seal internally or something right there? At first, I didn't realize these had weep holes and I was thinking...

    Factory power steering box leak

    Bringing this back to the top. Been limping along with this box just keeping the PS fluid topped off. I started re-visiting this in preparation for taking the box out and shipping it off to Blue Top.... Discovered that it's leaking out of the weep hole at the very front of the box. I confirmed...

    Couple of Question for 351w Install

    My biggest issue was motor mounts not lining up. Had to torch off the old frame mounts and so had new ones welded in. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Gauge lighting issue.

    Mine are like yours. It's like they have 3 or 4 panels that light up, per bulb. But I'll play around with how they are in the sockets and gauges and see if there's any difference. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Gauge lighting issue.

    But no way of opening these gauges that you know of without damaging them? Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Gauge lighting issue.

    I looked for a tinted plastic insert near where the bulbs go in and didn't see anything. It could be a coating as you suggested but I see no way of removing the bezel to take the gauge apart. Or at least I'm scared of breaking them if I do.

    Tilt seat- corbeau seat

    Arguably the best solution I've seen for passenger seat tilt mechanisms is by Lick Creek Restorations. It's not on their website but I saw it in one of the broncos (I think The Duck) that they brought to Super Celebration. Looks like any seat could be mounted to it and it bolts to the lower...

    Gauge lighting issue.

    I'll check that. So bizarre. With the standard bulbs that the gauges came with there are no differences in tint.

    Gauge lighting issue.

    Some of you may remember a while back I put in LED lights in my instrument cluster. Love the bright white look of it. So I'd been on the hunt to replace the very yellowish bulbs for my trio gauges from Sunpro. Temp, Oil PSI and Amps. The mechanical temp gauge died so I replaced it. Turns out...

    Wild Horse Power Steering and Steering Stabilizer

    Can steering be shored up with factory linkage? Sure. There's better options: Duff's Hemi Steer etc. I have a 20 year old Bulletproof Steering Heim setup and at the time I removed the steering stabilizer shock and have never had Death Wobble. Bumpsteer was greatly reduced as well. I could use...

    Magnaflow 2 into 1, way louder than expecting

    Reading through the thread I was like, well it would help if there were vids. Boom delivered! I like the sound of the after, I just loathe the idea of having the pipe exit in the stock location. Because mine are bashed to hell. I've considered doing dumps but apparently the consensus is that...

    how do I move the manual choke?

    Mine had a small L shaped bracket that was bolted on the underside of the dash. That's where my choke knob was. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Radius Arm upgrade

    I get it, JD is typically way more expensive on most things. If the A4F arms were say $500 Id say do that. Given they're only $100-$200 cheaper then what you'd end up paying for Duff's T-Rex or extended arms, I say go with Duff's. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Factory power steering box leak

    And now after driving it some more it's leaking again, presumably from the same place. Sigh. Maybe it'll be a Blue Top afterall. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Factory power steering box leak

    Well, after a little searching I saw another suggestion of overfilling the reservoir with fluid which is what I ended up doing and it was enough to build pressure to blow the seals out. I kept the pitman nut in place so everything got caught so it didn't fall and that way I could make sure and...

    Factory power steering box leak

    Coming back to this as work in the garage always seems to come in spurts. Found a 3/4 drive 1 5/16 socket and a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter. Pitman arm nut and arm came off fine. (It's marked so I know how it goes back on) Got the snap ring out and nothing falling out. Started it up to rotate the...
