Yes, flawless function. At idle, there is enough flow and power from the pump (4.5 GPM @ 1600 PSI) that I was worried about the winch bolts holding when I tested the function. Adding the winch and ram assist to the circuit provides more capacity overall for the hydraulic fluid. The remote reservoir also adds fluid capacity to the system helping to keep everything cool. The only drawback to the ram assist is that turning the steering quickly from lock to lock is noticeably slower.
