A PSC ram assist is being installed also Pump is already changed
Great! You'll love it. Pump didn't need changing though. If the new pump does give it up, you can use a stock pump. It has plenty of oompf as I know this very well.

Good luck in getting it all together!
thanks, that is good to know. it would have to be drilled out, right?
If RCV pulls this off, I think that would be a pretty big deal for dodge owners to no longer be stuck with a 32 spline axle. Their axles are pretty insane. I should know for sure on monday, and I hope I didn't just jinx myself.
Let's rewind here. We've been talking about the power steering pump. Started back in Post #40 when you said ordered PSC ram assist and pump already changed.
So, I say the pump did not need changing...yadda yadda. Looks like below.
I am running a stock power steering pump. I have been running this way since installation. It's been claimed that the PS pump needs to be modified for higher flow. This is true in the more general applications of Jeeps. However, for the Dodge I researched the pump specs and inferred this mod was not needed. My usage since May so far has proven correctly. If I feel a need for more flow, then I can install my spare pump that has the mod done to it. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...ml#post3298344
I haven't talked about the assist cylinder, until now.
As for connecting the lines to the assist cylinder, those would be 2 ports on it, as shown here:

Are you talking about the steering gearbox? That needs 2 ports added to it, which is what connects to the cylinder.
I'm presuming you ordered a kit from PSC?
What do you actually have?
It does not need to be drilled out for "alleged" higher flow.
Sorry for the late reply, I was off the grid again.
Once again my ignorance caused me to misspeak, or use the wrong terms.
This is exactly what I bough from PSC:
It is an upgraded borgeson steering box with ram assist.
Oh yeah, as I was waiting for my PSC axle for the dana 60, there was a competition coming up, so I bought a used axle shaft for my original dana 44 axle. Well, 60 seconds in, I busted that one also.
This was definitely the fault of my driving this time.
