I oiled mine-it got better. It is however, not one fingered. Double check the air supply hose that goes from the frame to the pitman arm-chances are it is leaking. I oiled mine through this hose.

Not sure about the low air cut off switch-didnt know there was one. If it does have one, it could also contribute-perhaps it holds air in when pressure drops and lets air out when full pressure. Given the air cylinder is a two way unit-if air cant get out-it cant get in (assist).
There sure are...
1/4" port is way to small for a cylinder of this size. Smaller the port-the slower the piston extension. Add to the possibility of crud in the port-and you have issues keeping the air cylinder charged.
The stuff we build here uses 3 and 4" air cylinders. We have found small regulators really...
Not sure but that sounds like flow.
It acts sort of like a fuel filter that is plugged. Turn a little and the reserve air volume in piston is able to move the steering wheels until that compressed air volume is expanded in cylinder-when you are hitting the hard spot-perhaps the flow through...
The system operates fine at the maximum pressure the air comp puts out. I did notice that the regulator mounted to frame is very small. Regulators and solenoid valves used in comp air systems have a "CV" value. CV value refers to flow. The greater the size of valve and ports-the greater the...
Few things to do.
First, look up under the frame near the steering box. There is a pressure regulator-take the cap off and set it for full pressure. Follow the line where it exits through the frame-there is a hose that is prone to leaking that goes from the bulkhead fitting in frame and to the...
