Just the power steering pump! But thanks??

No sponsors or deep pockets? I know Polaris RZRs have EPS but I haven’t seen a desert truck with one yet. It’d definitely be cool to make it work

Agree with you 100%. I’m going to something I know just for the simplicity of it and what’s been proven in Offroad racing since it started.

Haha I have racer x intercom headsets in the truck just in case that happens!

If it were a daily driver I’d get the electric power steering completely. But several of my buddies also had EPS fail on there trucks that never hit the dirt. One of them had to change out the whole rack once and the motor twice. Every auto parts store has power steering fluid and some sort of power steering line I could mcgiver. But a Snap in diagnostic machine is a little tougher. This is my fix to the the problem, other people have there’s and I respect that! Thanks for the reply

Electronic power steerings a joke. The steering rack and pinion is temporary, I’m designing a swing set full hydraulic system with a Howe hydraulic ram. I’m going to need a power steering pump so this is a step in the right direction for me.

I have a 2015 Chevy Silverado single cab short bed work truck with the 4.3 liter that the power steering unit just decided to quit working while prerunning in Baja with my wife. It wasn’t an issue but my triceps got a serious work out. I took it into Bob Stall Chevrolet in La Mesa California and found out that the ECU and the EPS weren’t communicating. Of course this isn’t covered by the warranty and it was $1,100 for the new EPS and $800-$1,300 for the labor. The gremlin of Offroad racing usually ends up being an electrical issue so I decided to ditch the EPS and go with the older more reliable Hydraulic Power Steering Steering. In order to do that I ordered the Dirty Dingo Power Steering Conversion Brackets, Dirty Dingo LS water pump adapters, LS water pump, 1996 Chevy Silverado Power steering pump, 2006 Chevy Silverado hydraulic rack and pinion, and Corvette vacuum pump block off plugs. All the parts finally arrived today, and I’ll be starting this project and hopefully be finishing before the weekend is over.
