Power Steering - Need Mods? Or....?

[2Dogs]

All,
I have never had my PS work very well - after very light work in 4x4 it will go away entirely. Once in awhile it will even try to spool to one side or the other all on its own

Here is the setup I will have in a month or so: 37" MTRs on wheels with 3.5" BS (going from 4.25 to 3.5 BS will hurt the situation even more).

Should I be able to run a pump and box combo that will power this setup or do I need to go to hydro assist?

I have an AGR box at the moment, probably why I have had so much trouble. How do you think this box would react to the DIY pump mods?

I already have a cooler installed, did not help.

Sorry if this is the 5028th time you have seen this topic - please point me to relevant posts

You should be able to pull the fitting out of the back of the pump without removing the pump from the vehicle (unless I am missing something different you are doing).

Be sure you read the part about doing this in small doses for non-assist setups.
