The biggest difference I noticed is lower rpm power and fueling, more so having the proper feed line into the pump. Timing is going to have more to do with your pyro than what the gear pump will. I still don't run a pyro, working on getting that done over the winter. Any help/ pictures of 855 power steering setups will be greatly appreciated. I don't see why a power steering box out of a newer truck wouldn't work on my truck. It's a pretty simple system from looking at my dads cats, but does anyone know if any Kenworth W900 power steering box will work on my truck? I assume it will because all W900 have set forward axles. But looking for a little help on the power steering. I'm in no hurry since I do have 6 month to do all this work. That has got to improve drivability and ride-ability tremendously. This winter I'm really hoping to put a hub piloted front axle under it, take a few springs out and get the front end down lower and put power steering on this old girl. I kept a few things but I think my biggest discovery was a power steering pump. Turns out a lot got destroyed when the guy just ripped it out of the original truck it was in. I had a big cam 400 that I was hoping to rob some parts off of for my motor. Well the old girl hasn't done much but enjoying, for probably the first time ever, hibernating in a shop for the next 6 months, resting peacefully next to it's younger yellow counter part. This has got to obviously help these PT fuel systems does it not? Worth looking into? My only thought is that he has a pressure regulator on his return line that he is adjusting. But just before every pull he jumps out of the cab, crawls up inside the wheel well on the left side and does something.
So this got me thinking, when changing button sizes, are we effectively adding a bigger quantity of fuel with gained pressure as a result? Or is this pump putting out the same volume of fuel, no matter which button you use, the button just controls the pressure?Īlso, there is a guy that runs a KTA in our club that obviously is pretty much unbeatable, especially now that he has learned how to drive his truck. I asked the question, " Does a bigger gear drive make more pressure or simply flow more fuel than my pump currently?" His reply was, "It will increase your pressure but will ultimately providing a bigger quantity of fuel." But anyways I got to asking him what else I could do for fuel modifications, and we got talking about a bigger gear drive pump. He sent me a 0 button, so we're gonna see how it goes today. I called the shop that rebuilt my pump to get another button.
