Where does the gauge get hooked up to test the pressure? maybe at idle the pump is not putting enough pressure out to overcome some kind of blockage, causing the pressure to shoot up (kinda like how there's a voltage spike when you cut a switch). Maybe the extra 20PSI is enough to break through that blockage?

I don't know, I'm just guessing myself at this point.

 

What are the stock specs supposed to be?

 

It's in the FSM. For the 2000 FSM, page 19 - 4 of the Steering section.

 

I believe there's no blockage, can't guarantee it but I've changed pump box and both lines. I spoke with dura last technician, he told me to turn all the way to lock and tell him if I hear the whining/squealing, whatever you call that noise. I eat nothing. He told me my pressure valve is stuck? I find that weird seeing it's brand new....and all new fluid. I've read a review of a guy getting 3 in a row for his cummins with NO valve even in there. Completly missing. Idk if that's the case. He told me to install an inline filter to the return line. He said a grain of sand the size of a peice of sugar can make the whole system to not work.

 

Any update?

 

I am waiting for time/money to throw an inline filter on the return side. Think I can get one for 15 bucks.

I was wondering if you had ever found a solution to this issue?

 

Me too. Have a similar problem.
