Message: [QUOTE="powerstroke95, post: 1421325, member: 1419"] Hello all! Just wanted to get some opinions before I start throwing parts at my truck trying to solve a problem. I have a 95 F-350 that I recently put a Cummins in. This swap was done with a 96 12 valve engine. I ended up using the entire Ford steering system, except for the pump. I made my own lines and adapted the Cummins P/S pump to the Ford gearbox. My first time driving it was at a sled pull. I had some issues with steering. The steering wheel felt very jerky, at times it was all i could do to hold it straight. At the end of the track it felt as if the steering was locked up (which I blamed on my welded front diff). I tried drag racing a couple weeks ago on a short dirt track and as I was building boost, I could actually watch the steering wheel jerk back and forth (while sitting still). To me this sounds like the systems got excess pressure or something. Is there a relief valve in a dodge steering box, but not in a Ford box maybe? I believe dodge started hydro-boost in 1996, could that pump be causing the issues? I'm hoping maybe someone else has encountered a similar problem... [/QUOTE]
