this thread delivers! I wish there was a way to gage the amount of slobber left on these pages...

 

i was really suprised at the 4wd jam last week or 2 weeks ago that i didnt see one sas ranger there were a tone or 97 and down truck but none were sas

 

i need to change my pants

 

808ranger

 

#1 reason you dont see them is the frame is weak (crumple zones) and its rack and pinion.

ask yourself how many 04+ SAS'd F150s you see? Not too many same reason, its rack and pinion steering.

 

yep. if mine had a steering box, it probably would have already been done

 

There are 53 SAS's 98+ Rangers in the U.S. today



I just made that number up.

 

to put a steering box in IMO, you need someone that can machine parts down to work with the all the misc steering parts you collected from the junkyard. then if its not really close to true it drives all funky and parts wear on that intermediate shaft. I already have Ujoints wearing out in mine.

 

bah, put the rack on the axle! I've seen that before

 

pretty much the same as full hydro. i would do that if i didnt drive on the street

 

i have seen it too. I want full hydro, and I will still drive it on the street. you can, you just have to have the proper pressure in the lines so its responsive.

 

yea i know it can be setup correctly, but you have a daily driver, i do not YET(<---)... so for my to do full hydro and drive it everyday would be dumb. what happens if a line blows? too much of a risk IMO for more than just driving around for fun.

 

um buy good lines? the likely hood of blowing a ling while driving down the street is slim IMO.

so many ag/construction equipment run hydro for so many things. just keep an eye on the lines from time to time for wear.

 

you think that but ive seen it happen once and heard of it happening alot of times. i was looking over the forklift yesterday at their setup. beefy...thats all i gotta say. mine will be like that. everythin is massive and has superbeef written all over it

 

Once i get my new DD the first thing i'm doing is taking off the bump stops, steering box and p/s pump.. welded rear/spooled front is gonna suck w/o hydro..

 

yeah im sure it does but think about what some of those make their lines out of.

still i agree, not the best DD situation

 

i wish someone would have aftermarket for out power steering pumps! toyota gets all the good stuff.

 

i agree.....ford did not do a good job with our pumps. if there was a way to adapt the yota one to ours i would be all over it. I have so many problems even with ifs. i cant imagine yall that have yota boxes.

 

"pretty much" the same yes.. you still gotta get the steering shaft down to it though

as listed in my clunkers thread. yotas get a ton of stuff. real cheap, fawkers. makes me want to sell the ranger for one.

I'm gonna try and fab up a bracket for a PSC pump.. we'll see how that goes.

 

i want a bracket for the PSC yota pump too! but im gonna try and mount it to the 5.4L

 

enough talky talk, more picy pics


lol

 

What ever number you come up with just add .5 too it for my truck....
