Man I miss Matt doing build videos in the tiny shop
Those building videos are what got me started on the channel. They also gave me motivation to try my own in my little garage.
Me too. I don't watch much no more unless its building.
Don't get me wrong, I like all the guys at Bleepin Jeep. However, Colt's videos are my favorite hands down!
Hey Colt, nice job!
Not trying to be mister know it all, just trying to help everyone. Saginaw PS boxes use different size fittings for pressure and return, can't be incorrectly installed, also when grabbing PS boxes from junk yards, don't forget Saginaw boxes use different types of fittings. Early boxes use inverted flare style of fittings, later boxes use O- ring fittings. This pump upgrade is a must when adding a ram, you really need the increase in PSI and GPM to reap the benefits of the ram
Just a tip when doing power steering work. Once you are putting the fluid in, draw a vacuum on the reservoir and it'll pull all of the air out for you before ever turning the pump at all. I use a brake bleeder, that I stuck the hose through a rubber shock bushing I had laying around the garage. Then you can hold that rubber bushing down on the top of the reservoir opening to seal the system. Works fantastic every time, never had a single air bubble or groaning pump!
Good tip!
I’ve done that The psc reservoir makes it easy I just connect to the fitting on the cap and Dre on it. I also pre-filled the ram and the lines before attaching to the steering gear
Love these tips.
Get the Quinn 1/2" torque wrench from harbor freight. Goes up to 250# and only costs $90. Works great.
scorpion is my favorite... it is why I joined the BJ channel long long ago
Great video Cole, you keep it simple for all of us to understand, those old jeeps are getting really hard to find here in Canada that are not rotted out, the motors never die just the bodies, that Harbour Freight Plasma cutter looks like it works pretty sweet, I've wanting one for awhile 👍
What part of Canada are you in? Im in the Okanagan here in BC, and you can find em all over marketplace.
Colt I am loving all these videos you’re doing on rats nest! These are great since I have an XJ I’m building up as well, it helps when you show how to do it on a budget.
Glad you like them, thanks👍
@@bleepinjeepdid you ever find a longer pitman arm? I was doing some research and found the WJ pitman arm is a good upgrade.
It takes real talent to tap your own box
Running power steering through the trans cooler as a part of the radiator helps keep it from "overheating", but also due to the coolant heat, holds it at a stable operating temp of engine operating temp, so that the power steering is not cooling an heating depending on use.
agriculture cultivators use a similar hydraulic system to set ride hieght. they use clip on spacers that work perfect. no machining necessary.
Matt you have 2 badass rigs and it's hard to choose but I really like the Comanche, great job on video today Colt thank you.
Good choice!
Both
Thanks Colt
Comanche is more interesting and more inspiring than a purpose built crawler, take the Comanche
Great idea on using the tranny cooler as a power steering cooler.
Thank you, it's been something I've been doing for years since I seem to always own manual transmissions, haha.
That looks like a late 80s Toyota bed. And boy I hope it is. I’ve been waiting for a Toyota build. I’m currently building a 86 4runner ❤
That would be cool!
I just bought a XJ. I never realized how small they are. I've had 73-74 Broncos, 72 FJ40 SBC, Jeep TJ, and at least 5 Toyota 4x4's plus a couple full size 4x4 trucks. At 6' I hit my head all the time getting in and out of my XJ. Cole I don't know how the heck you get in and out of yours as tall as you are.
I love these explanatory DIY vids you do. Especially the part about modding the PS pump.. Makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
Really good instruction radio go thank you very much I've been thinking very seriously about putting a new ram on my 350 Ford so I've been watching a lot of videos you're very good thank you
Thanks for another great tutorial Colt 👍
I don’t know nothing about you do but I lov to see all your builds keep it up guys 💪🏻
I don't know what your day job is/was but you're a bloody good teacher Colt.
Yes! That pitman arm puller is the best one I have ever used! Far superior to the 2 arm style. Great video, Colt! This is a great upgrade for so many of us.
That's, because it's a Snap-on tool Dandahermit
@@dandahermitseals5582 Believe what you want, it's all about the design that keeps it far more rigid than any other I have tried. Mac, Matco, Cornwell, S&K, doesn't matter to me. If it's the 2 jaw style, I'm going to pass on it and go to this one every time.
@@yjsaabman So ???
I love your videos. You take the time to explain everything well.
Thank you I try my best👍
Good information just want I needed.
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative. Thank you. 😊
haha colt I have had a question rolling around way in the back from time to time.... power steering cooler? you answered it in this vid thanks
Good job Colt. Enjoy the videos.
I plan on being at the Dayton expo and would love to check out the Comanche.
You find better tools at yard sales than Harbor Freight.
Great video and great job with the steering God bless from GA and stay safe 🙏
Thanks, you too!
The radiator's transmission fluid cooler is a great idea to keep power steering fluid temperatures in operating range at 180 F and below 250 F. I actually plumbed the trans cooler of my radiator for additional coolant flow from the heater circuit to help combat the Arizona desert heat. I use a separate trans cooler and didn't want to waste the extra cooling capacity of the radiator. The radiator/trans cooler is really a fluid warmer more than it is a cooler. The cold temperature in snow country can make the power steering fluid flow like molasses and put excessive forces on the pump, the lines, and seals causing failure. Good video. Keep Em rollin.
Colt is The Man..💪👍👍
Just a man but thank you!😎👍
Well that is a great tip! Thx.
Colt is the best at explaining (The How To). 🇺🇸 👍🏻
I appreciate that, thanks!
Hey Colt, great video! I'm all about the budget build. Thanks for showing the p/s pump upgrade-awesome!!!
Thats money saved "man"! Now I can buy that better header for the 4.0L & rap with the fiberglass insulation like Matt did! Show me the money!!! Thanks Fella's.
Glad to help, thanks for watching😉👍
you can also set the ram so the spacer is just on the outside. i installed mine centered with the intention of coming back and doing the spacers inside and out, then i saw someone just doing the outside. forehead slap.
You can also shaft collar on the outside
Definitely take the Scorpion, and that truck is a Square Body Chevy!
Great vid..Maybe down the road you can do a cheaper alternative to ORI suspension maybe long air shocks .Thanks for all the great content.
Colt. Great video as always.
Matt. Take both. That way when you break one, you have a spare.
Would like to see the scorpion 🦂
I like putting the ram directly behind the the tie rod, reduces tie rod roll and keeps it out of the rocks and looks cleaner
It unfortunately didn't have enough room to fit there.
@@bleepinjeep yah, your axle side track bar mount could be more outboard to give you room
WJ pitman arm should give you more steering angle, using one on my XJ that I’m swapping in a SD60
I'll look into that, thanks👍
I reckon I may see you up in Wilmington. I'm just down near Cincinnati so it's not a long drive and I need something to do this winter, even though I do no off roading (but I enjoy watching it). :) I do have a 4x4 truck with two turbos though 😄
Look forward to seeing you there😉
What a video, Colt rhyming, free styling, peeing in a bucket and dog crap. Covering real life basics.
Real life happens🤣
Another trick to remove a pitman arm is to take two BFH's and smack both sides of the pitman arm at the same time with both.
I've been wondering if I could put a power steering box from one of my Diesel F 250s. I don't want steering dedicated to two way hydraulic steering cylinder up cause if you have a failure u got no steering. Power box loses hydraulics you just have hard steering. Have you done that?? I have an 87 Comanche. Thanks Dandahermit
i burned through all of the pitman arm pullers at the local auto stores, until my buddy loaned me his snap on. immediately pulled it lol. what a difference a good tool makes!
ya those little ones with two fingers suck!
Shaft collars on the rod of the ram also word as a stop. Mount what length you need to remove under the rod end
Scorpion 2.0 all the way man!
I think you should bring the Jeep Comanche
Glad you made this vid. Thanks. Question, if I do the pump mod with a speed proportional pump, will it end up being negated? And is it still the same procedure? Do I just have to remove the speed solenoid from the top before accessing the pump pressure spring Thanks again.
Hi Bleen Jeeps I just watching your new show 27 minutes ago do you know I really really really really really love your wife lunch it makes me happy I will praying 🙏 for you and your family and friends so you will be safe ok I love your new and old show you do a great job you have a wonderful day and have a good night and day ok love Lorilee
Safety squints. Matt from MORR would be proud 😆
Great video! Thanks Cole! Now how about breaking down rear steer and how it works and is installed? The Scorpion crawler. Matt!!!
Maybe a good idea for a stand alone video but it was also covered in the Scorpion 2.0 series: th-cam.com/play/PL1U__4as20wHBk5TUk_lI1uAQIxEXTO-M.html
Matt’s Off-Road fab’d external spacers on his rams. Might be something to think about…
Yeah, that's easier to do with a double ended ram like he has but I plan to extend the steering one day anyways😉👍
I want to see the Scorpion crawler my self! And Ill be there to meet you guys for sure as I already put in for the days off and plan to go to this as its only about 2 hours away from me!
Awesome, see you there!
I travelled in to the future and learned that it is an S-10. By the way, you should paint a Ninja Turtle on the diff.
Bring the Comanche. We’ll be there.
Why did you not mount it off the upper link bracket? Keep it high and out of the rocks? Clearance issues? My Dana 44 highsteer was above the axle and fit fine.
my vote is the Scorpion crawler, its still Jeep powered👍
Teach it🙃
Perfect timing, this is my next major upgrade on my 89 YJ. It has manual steering now. I know some folks use the Durango box as a slight upgrade, but I’m only gonna run 33s for now. What box will be best besides stock and can more than one model work or does it have to be off a YJ? I’ll be sending it off to Bleepin for the rebuild and drill for HA ports.
The factory box should be fine. The Durango box is a popular upgrade, not sure if that works on YJ but maybe so. I once heard rumor it was just faster, not stronger... And then PSC has their own boxes as well.
Hey colt, I have the full hydro kit without the new pump and reservoir because of cost. Can I drill out the pump like you did and run the full hydro successfully?
Hello bro, can you give the link you use cooler oil through steering box. Please.
I’ve got a JKU with a 6 inch ram and I know I measured short. I could probably get 6.5 inches out of it. But honestly I’m probably better off at the 6 inches so that I’m not putting pressure on my pump, as well as not binding those U joints up even more.
I’d love more steering angle though…
My pitman arm puller looks just like yours only its from china and cost me 30$ on Amazon. Its an amazing tool that makes pitman arms a breeze.
the conical versions are just over $60 now on amazon
Maybe I missed it but what thickness washer for the pump valve/spring?
Isn't it better to go from the axle housing to the tie rod end on the passenger side ?
Would you link or give more information on the bender set up and was that a tubing not her you said everyone should have? Thanks
Tubing Notcher and Bender come from AffordableBender.com
Rudy recently installed that style of hydraulic assist and commented on his concern for the exposure the assist has where it's mounted. He would probably like the protection for it that you fabricated.
Guess we need to get Rudy to watch the channel more🤣
@@bleepinjeep i think rudy did full hydro.
He did full hydro
@@powerstroke01 maybe so but I was talking about Rudy's concern for it being exposed.
@@jerrycann6374 he was too cheap to buy a proper skid system like TMR, Barnes, Ruffstuff etc sell
Bring the Comanche!!
Is that a stock xj pump you’re drilling for more pressure?
Like always great video...what size tire do you know you need hydraulic assist steering?
I feel it really matters to your wheeling style but if you have a locker up front it's a game changer.
When you guys rebuild the boxes do you port it internally or just the drill and tap for the hoses? I've done the drill and tap thing and it didn't work that great. Problem I notice was the stock internal port were tiny when you compare it to a dedicated PSC tapped box.
There are multiple 1/8" ports in a factory box and some are inaccessible. So no, we don't port the visible ones but are happy with the results anyhow.
When you change the steering box and start the engine first time after the changing it keep your hands and arms away from the steering wheel. If you do make a mistake and switch the lines on the box the steering wheel will violently turn back and forth.
never seen that happen, I did do that once but it just bound up.
@@bleepinjeep I did on my 86 Grand Prix. I have a Borgeson Delphi box and made an error with the lines and the steering wheel jumped back and forth. I saw that happen on youtube before I screwed up so at least I remembered and still have all my fingers..
Colt, is it better to use anti-seize as a lubricant on your pullers vs something like axle grease? Great video as always!
I personally use antiseeze but I don't see why grease wouldn't work too.
No!!! Antiseize has metal in it! Horrible idea. Should never be used in moving parts and the puller will see pressure in the threads and wear it out faster! Lost some credibility in the mechanical knowledge watching the video and seeing that.

The jeep Comanche I haven’t seen it in action in awhile
did you see this one?: th-cam.com/video/V5vRv2phov0/w-d-xo.html
Can you post links for bender and notcher in the comments? Thanks.
Toyota and Nissan forklifts have full hydro steering that can be ran on a toyota power steering pump and im sure other's. I currently have 300$ in my truck steering and I'm running 15in wide 36's and can turn them no concrete with one finger at a dead stop.
Full hydro steering isn't road legal in most states. This is hydro assist because many states require mechanical linkage.
@@bleepinjeep true true and its not legal in Ga either but luckily none of the states down here as long as we aren't directly causing danger to others I.E. speeding or running over stuff on one cares lol.
Take the Comanche to Dayton!
The scorpion
MJ!
Is it safe to run something like this on the highway? At highway speeds?
Will they rebuild and port the steering not from the 03-06 wranglers?
Yes we can do 03-06 boxes
Take both take both one for spare and I think that’s a Toyota from the 80s, hell I could be wrong.
Do you use hydraulic fluid or do you use regular power steering fluid in that system?
Regular power steering fluid but I'd steer towards synthetic fluid like swepco or Lucas.
You sound like Paul from fabrats
Do you know if they sell an OEM tranny cooling lines replacement?? Mine are sweating. Of course -- Asian auto. Thanks Dandahermit
im sure they do at any auto parts store, amazon, or maybe try rock auto
what if you just increase the pressure and volume like what you did but without using a hyro ram?
You could but it would be unnecessary for a stock application, if you're having pump issues then the pump is probably bad.
@@bleepinjeep pump is new i just want a little more umph with the 35's im running on my tj and really cant afford to do a hydro ram
If you aren't doing it twice, you're not working at Fab Rats. (c;
Scorpion crawler
Bring the Jeep Cherokee. 🇺🇸 👍🏻
Can't beat a Toyota part. Sheet the bottom side. Mother nature likes to touch things.
Those are powerful. I mean they will break sh!t if you only have 7" and it's made for 8"
" know what I mean Vern know what I mean ? Huh ? Huh ?"
Get a spare piece of hose to tie the ram ports together. No need to remove ram.
does that work? Must try this!
I had a pump failure and it was horrible. So I just capped the ports on the gear then put a jumper hose between extend and retract on the ram I’m willing to bet if you were to have enough fluid in the ram with an orifice in the jumper it would now act as a dampener
