2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission steering gearbox, which hole is pressure/return

[AChaulk]

I pulled a bone headed manuver again. I removed the entire power steering system... . pump, lines and gearbox to intall all new stuff. It's all back in but I can't determine which hole in the gearbox is for the high pressure input and which one is for the return line. My el cheapo non-factory manual is useless for showing a diagram. I marked the heck out of everything EXCEPT that. If anyone can tell me I'd really appreciate it. I'm stuck at this point. If there is a link to a diagram or something that would be great.



Thanks!

Sorry I forgot to tell you what I have. 2001 Ram 2500 4WD 5. 9L. It's a NAPA steering gearbox (reman)

the hard line that has the curl in it will be the one on your right hand side when your underneath the truck. I suppose thats the feed. Only reason I know for sure is I just swapped my box out saturday.

Thanks, I finally took a chance and put it on that side. It was sort'a Murphy proofed because I would have had to bend the heck out of the line to get it to fit on the outer (return) line. Man I looked all over the place for a picture or discription of it too.

Appreciate it.

It has been a while since I worked on one but I seem to recall that they were different size?
