Sorry we missed thus, @c20040215 ! We can invoice you for the boost valve separately. Pls send an email to info[at]apexdesignsusa[dot]com with your cooler order number & we can get you taken care of.
Well As you’ve read in the description of the product it’s helps... it’s not hydro assist. And by no means is it referred to as such. Next you just added a significant amount of fluid and a cooler to your power steering system. That’s a great thing. I bet your fluid was discolored, that’s a bad thing... electric power steering fluid is a very high quality and grade man made fluid. When it’s gets discolored it’s burnt and no longer working correctly. Every one I’ve installed for people they have been extremely happy with the feel of the steering compared to stock. They are mostly all on 40’s since it’s the new norm forJL/JT vehicles these days.I will say my install start to finish was only about an hour and 45 minutes total. I have a factory bumper with a warn evo winch and winch plate. I did not remove the bumper or winch, I did not remove the steering pump. I removed fenderliners, grille and airbox assembly. The only issue I had was the hour afterward, bleeding and burping and refilling, was why it was harder to turn than before. When I seen on the floor the tiny little cylinder looking thingy that goes on the end of the cap and spring. 5 minutes later after disassembly and reassembly of pressure valve, things were back to normal. With that being said after adjusting I did expect a very easy steering, it didn't seem much better than normal steering. Maybe a slight bit better easiness, in my opinion not worth the money for what you get. Anyone need any tips on install let me know. I guess I should have test drove one prior to spending the money. One more thing I installed my gauge next to the airbox.
I knew it wasn't hydro assist and no my fluid wasn't discolored. I expected better than normal, a significant difference for the money spent. I also added an afe boost to my throttle body, also no difference there for the money that was spent. I know it's not a turbo I installed and no my throttle body wasn't discolored. I just expected more for the money that was spent.
How much does something like that run? I have been thinking of doing the same, but my normal local shop passed on doing the Apex boost valve so I would have to take a drive to have it done (to probably either Twin Falls or the SLC area).
I’m in just a bit south of slc bring it to me and I’ll install it for you.
@MichaelAnthony
LoL I did, was just explaining the importance of that tiny little piece. The assembly is installed correctly, it just doesn't have that oh wow factor. Very simple installation only took me 1.5-1.75 hours to complete the install. Unsure why many have had issues installing this.
Perfect timing. I was searching for tips on installing this on a diesel. I've had this for a month or so now and still haven't installed it. I'm waiting on my Next Venture bumpers to be made so I can insure a proper fit. Any tips, or pics, you can offer will be greatly appreciated. I haven't even looked yet to see if the pump is still on the passenger side. I've found that a few other things are flipped around with the Diesel engine.
