Re: Power steering too fast
First off, settings for trucks are designed to have the truck half loaded in the rear, to set the suspension correctly. So, a half ton truck should have 500 lbs of weight in the bed, over the rear axle, when it is aligned, 1 ton, a half ton of weight. So, when the bed is empty, caster settings are very steep. Most of us don't drive our trucks with any sort of load at all for much mileage, which means we need to adopt different specs and live with the issues when the bed is loaded
Contrary to popular belief, low caster numbers on trucks are not linked to making manual steering work easier.
Second, utilizing a pump pulley that is a larger diameter than the one now in use, will slow the steering down to a reasonable, workable rate, and then, adjust the valve for further sensitivity.
