that's my question - what's your thoughts/concerns on the design of their mount that lead you away from it? PM if you would rather not post.

curious as to why you went with the Artec and not the Red Barn Custom or Stinky Fab mounts? I went with RBC - fits great. Not sure what the price on the Artec is, but seems like it would be more than the other two. Ultimately, I went with the RBC over the Stinky Fab (similar to the Artec)...

may i suggest spending a couple bucks and saving a lot of fab time? I've done a lot of looking and i'm going pre-fab route on my other project. I bought two of these units from Red Barn Customs. The fit is good and they're built quite well. They'll make a great platform for the steering...

yes, you are beating a dead horse; you say if "a hose blows." ok, which hose? is it a high pressure hose from the power steering pump to the steering valve or a hose from the valve to the cylinder? what about the low pressure hose? all these generic statements have proven is that most of...

i hear you - i wondered if that is possibly what happened. this was a concern of mine also, since my hydraulic system is going through my hydro-boost unit. i put a large oil cooler with thermostatically controlled fan in the system, and a 1 gal resevoir. this should keep good temperature...

yep. please see pt. 3 in post 94 above. as already stated, it is a potiential failure point. in my opinion it is extremely unlikely to go out completely and without warning - but that's my opinion, but it actually happened to you, so i'm not arguing.

i understand. not trying to be hard about it, but these same statements come up a lot, and i wanted to be sure that the correct info is in this thread. this is a very specific application and it is imperitive that you (not 'you' specifically, Big Red, 'you' in general) fully understand how the...

again, this is a manual transmission equipped vehicle - a loss of engine power does not mean you have a loss of pumping power unless you take it out of gear. the only way you would have catastrophic pumping loss is: hydraulic pump belt loss (not an issue with gear-driven units) complete...

btw - i can't believe i haven't posted in this thread earlier? to those naysayers that can only speculate: my truck drives great at highway speeds. [thumbzup]

hydro-boost: F550 master cylinder, brake booster, and calipers all the way around. 15.365" front rotors and 14" rears. Steve at Differential Engineering. already have the MC/BB, should have the caliper/rotor kits next week.

sounds exciting - let us (or me at least) know what develops. i'll be keeping my PSC system when i do the repower in a couple weeks. but since i'm introducing hydro-boost to the circuit i'll be upgrading to a larger capacity gear-driven pump that will put out more flow at all rpms and higher...

wow - looks like a servo-driven worm rod. crazy, but i see no reason that it couldn't/wouldn't/shouldn't work. servo capability and reliability is increasing about as fast as memory chips. talk about true 'drive-by-wire'...

Jesse, i think what you are refering to is similar to a 'velocity fuse' that is used in industrial hydraulic applications such as on machines. my understanding is that when the fluid exceeds a specific fluid velocity, the fuse closes. this is used to prevent whipping hoses and fluid injection...
