I ended up going with the Napa inline filter.. I had the Edelmann one ready to go in, but I disliked that it was only a steel screen filter. I like the bigger spin-on filter setups too, but I think the magnet is important which they don’t have.. It would be nice to put a cooler on and a...

Yes… that would be a good idea while already into it.. I didn’t think about it though and now it’s all back together and working well. Can’t believe how hot those pressure lines connected to the hydroboost get though. So were you able to remove and re-seal the hydroboost unit without having to...

One thing I did notice was that the shorter return line looked a little restricted from the bend in it, more so than the stock one does.. that’s the one usually connected to the return from the hydroboost.. I read that any slight restriction in that return line can fool the hydroboost into...

Yeah I saw a youtube video along those lines and I probably should have looked into that first, but I have the parts already and I’ve pulled the vacuum pump and power steering pump. I was going to pull the screen/check valve and take a look but haven’t had time yet. Turns out the vac pump drive...

I like the cooler.. where did you find that? That seems like a good idea.. I swear everytime I start on something with this truck it morphs into a couple hundred more dollars and an extra several hours (days) of tinkering to make the system(s) the best they can be.. it’s hard to resist when I...

You did a nice job on that.. looks great.. hadn’t thought about a valve.. that’s a good idea too if not doing a spin on filter like you’ve done here…

I’m about to replace my power steering pump because I’m losing steering and brake functionality at low rpms. Works fine at anything over 1000 rpms. I guess since both are affected, it’s reasonable to assume the pump is going out? I bought a Borgeson unit which increases the pressure and flow...

That’s interesting Ozy, did you have trouble finding a spot to mount that kit? Seems pretty tight down in there..

Just wondering if anyone has used the Edelmann 70699 power steering filter on their truck? It’s supposed to be serviceable whereas most of the others are not. I’ve seen some guys have problems with the plastic type filters cracking and leaking. I know there is a Magnefine option in both plastic...
