What do you mean by "hydraulic bit?" Yes, if I hit a rock and break the ram, I will lose steering. If the steering column breaks, I will lose steering. This differs very little from conventional mechanical steering. It is a common misconception, but even without the pump running (or if the pump fails somehow) I can STILL steer the truck, although with increased effort.
@jawright1230 I think I'm into it a little over $1100. That doesn't include small stuff I already had in my shop; nuts, bolts, steel, etc. It was worth every penny though...much easier to drive!
Please forgive my ignorance and thanks for posting this first of all so the parts where do you get them? Do you have a more detailed video on the install thanks for all your help?
I don't have any more details on this build; I did this project so long ago, it was before I started documenting my projects on youtube. Most of the parts are available through PSC: www.pscmotorsports.com/
This uses a load-reactive valve, so there is some road feel and return to center. But it doesn't really happen automatically...it feels like somewhat-vague power steering. It actually works very well; I have put around 10,000 miles on it with zero problems.
I own this truck now! I've been trying to figure out how the steering setup was built and stumbled upon your video. Please let me know a good way to contact you
by Hydraulic bit, I meant the hydraulic unit. But I did consider some form of Hydraulic steering as well when I get a Deuce. I just want to go with the Hydrualic assisted steering, because if something goes wrong I will still have the Deuce's original steering and thus wont end up stuck
Howdy. Real nice set up. I am curious where you got your steering wheel. Is it an adapter that fits the Deuce splined shaft or did you modify something yourself. Thanks.

That is a sweet looking deuce.

Does it self center or do you have to manually bring it back?

Small world :)
I dont like posting my email address here, but look me up on facebook and send me a message.

Full hydraulic.
Full hydraulic or just hydraulically assisted steering?
So basically if the Hydrualic bit dies you are stuck with no steering?
How much this setup cost total?

I bought it through PSC; it is a race-type wheel that has a lock collar and is removable
