Power steering Pump

[SettoSaurus Rex]

dont fight the wheel. this can happen if you are in a rut around a turn and trying to get out of it. if you are in sand, you sink a little and steering becomes harder the more you sink down. have to have a little momentum before steering. if you are at higher speed and trying to swing the back end, you need to adjust your speed before getting into the turn. if you are going too fast and trying to drift your tires will grip and you wont drift, but your truck will want to go straight and you will be fighting the wheel. if you slow down slightly ahead of the turn and accelerate to the entry speed you want, the tire spin will allow you to slide the truck around. quick steering movement to start the slide. not big, just quick. as you get comfortable with this then you can keep a higher maintained speed and use throttle to steer more. and keeping on the throttle during the turn is just as important. dont get scared and back off when you start to slide. or you will catch traction and have bigger issues. theres so much but it comes with experience just need to get out there and do it more. if you feel the wheel getting hard to turn, you arent doing something right.

Damn I’m guilty of doing just what you said not to do ! Replacing the pump now

that sucks. but hopefully you learned from it. be easy on it and find that happy spot where just a little bit of steering and more throttle help you turn better

That is an awesome kit. Thanks for the advice, on my list now.

Buy once, cry one. When my stock pump went out after it's second offroad trip a week after I got the truck, I put the Lee pump and reservoir kit on. It's been on for 2yrs and 50k trouble free miles. Probably 5k of those miles have been off-road.
