PSC Big Bore Steering Upgrade

[RagTopDeluxe]

I've got my fingers crossed for you @RagTopDeluxe, good luck with the adjustable LCAs

Thanks. I’m going to do what I can, but my awesome hubby will do most of the work. I cook him rib-eye for dinner I’m trying-to-fix-my-Jeep days

It’s about $100k in kits! I was surprised at the relatively low number but it is a relatively expensive upgrade that’s a hard pill for a lot of folks who expect great Steering from a brand new Jeep!

This replaces nearly everything. Removed the electronic power steering pump, the troublesome steering box and adds cyclinder assist. There should be no issues with steering

I'm sorry, are you saying this kit cost 100k?

No, he was responding to someone stating that PSC had only sold roughly 30 of these kits by that time. (Was fairly new product for JL application). $100k is about the cost of 30 kits

I hope you have better luck with yours than I have had.

 

[MichaelAnthony]

what issues are you having?

We had to chase down a leak. It was a pain. Failed hose and wasn’t making a proper seal. Then the cooler was faulty. They would do nothing for us so bought a cooler from Jegs and swapped it out. It now does not leak as of today anyway. They suck to deal with. Interesting thing is it appears the new kits have a new type cooler but again they wouldn’t warranty the cheap cooler. Just hasn’t been a fun experience and has cost me a few extra bottles of bourbon as I am not a mechanic but mine has been cool helping through this.

just got mine back from being installed. Drove it home and checked to fluid and it was empty. Added a bit drove it around added a bit more. Now pretty stable but at slow speed lots of effort to turn the wheel. Guessing there is still air in the system.

Question- how full should the FULL point be?

Are you saying you don't see fluid in the fill reservoir?

I keep mine right below the threads. I was adding a lot for a while while the air bubbles escape.

Whoever installed should have bled lines with it stationary, preferably with the front on jack stands and going lock to lock, topping off fluid as you go until the level holds steady etc...you really need to talk to whoever installed and start asking questions.
And since it sounds like someone dun goofed, I'd even unbolt the ram leaving the lines on and make sure the shaft of the ram is moving in the same direction as the tires.
