I pull the box on Wednesday and will have the re-man replacement from Redhead Steering Gears on Friday.

Good day all! Update on this and a thank you to all that commented. The Redhead Steering Gears box was installed and made a big difference compared to the box that was in there. The guys at Redhead (Auburn WA) were awesome and I had a good conversation with the guy that took in my core.

He did question the Saginaw pump pressure when I told him I was considering the 4 turn instead of the 3 turn. The comment he made was that the PS pump may be supplying too much pressure into the steering, when I told him I thought the steering was a little too snappy with the old 3 turn box. Since the old box was loose and I knew the Readhead Gears box would be tighter, I was concerned with it being too responsive and considered the 4 turn. My setup looks to be a WH conversion... https://www.wildhorses4x4.com/73-77...MIgOqr0IKEkgMVkAitBh3c2ydGEAQYASABEgL9E_D_BwE

Has anyone experienced this with their upgrade to the high flow pump and was there a flow restrictor installed?

The Auburn store is good. They do quality work there for sure. Been all thru their facility.

The higher flow rate & pressure will take some getting used to. It will seem quite a bit quicker.

You can really notice the difference when running a hyd ram. The pump will fill the ram from the higher flow & pressure MUCH faster & you will definitely have to get used to it.

It’s quick, but I’m good with it now. I’m leaving it alone and moving on to the next item on the build list. Thanks.
