GEN 1 Power steering upgrades

[bigrig]

You are correct. The placement we chose is to maximize cool air exposure to the reservoir to keep the fluid temps down. Unfortunately this location doesn't allow for a 40" behind the grille lightbar

Does the GJ Motorsports reservoir address the cavitation issues that happen with the stock reservoir? That reservoir from Lee seems to make the claim that the oil stays completely still while in it.

I like the filter setup and placement with the GJ one.

But you've already got enough light on the front of that thing, you won't even notice it's missing [emoji23]

I have no desire to remove that light, its all amber and comes in too handy. And further, I plan on removing the WSI rack with those Whelen, Baja Designs and TMX Blackhawks and sell it since I ordered your third brake light kit. So I will lose some lighting.

Can't argue with that

@RDFTS. Sounds like you have a beast of a truck. Do you mind sharing some pics of your lighting setup before removal?

It doesn't eliminate the cavitation issue, but it certainly does help. There's better baffling in the GJ reservoir that keep the fluid as stable as possible. I don't see how fluid could stay perfectly still unless it was a completly sealed system.

I agree, the claim Lee makes, that the fluid stays still during operation, seems like they aren't offroading or jumping the truck while testing it. I would be interested in seeing the guts of both the Lee and GJ systems to get an idea of what is going on inside (not to mention an actual picture of the Lee reservoir since it is missing from their site).

Thanks NE Ford for the details, that is one of the coolest reservoir setups I have seen.

I'll have my hands on the GJ reservoir this weekend so I can get you some photos.

Rear has two amber cubes on the light rack and two amber flush mounts in the bumper.



Only pic I could find on my phone with JUST the amber behind the grill on that I do not want to remove for a different PS cooler.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to get to the shop and get photos but I'll be installing one on my truck in the next week or so and will get photos then.

I would like some pics when you get a chance. I have been real interested in the GJ reservoir. I need a new system for Baja this fall [emoji846]
