hydraulic steering question

[Rob8003]

I have a jeep with a GM 350 stock power steering pump (new) with full hydo steering. After about 30 min of riding it becomes hard to steer. Any advice?

Try a good fluid cooler with a fan

Yep, put all the cooler on it you can! And a extra tank to add a lil volume


Go BIG Or Go Home!! ????

After it gets hot first time it can sit for 15 min then steers good for bout 10/15 min then gets hard again

Need a good cooler with fan as already stated.... Also make sure your return line is adequate.. My experience as far as pumps they either work or don't (stock gm). Never really had one slowly go away. Once the pump was going it was down hill fast an did not come back.

Had truck once Rockwells locked f/r could not make lap around shop before steering gave up ...... Installed "big" cooler with fan, never had problem again.
