Glad to see you wrapping up the truck there Mark and getting to drive it. I have got a bunch of loose ends to wrap up shortly on my Ramcharger swap as well

Here's where I am at now the Down pipe fits good. I had a minor setback on my crossover. the silicone hump hose that came with it Is a tad too short so I ordered a longer one.I lost one of the bushings to my throttle bellcrank so I ordered a set from McMaster Carr. all should be here about mid week.

Mark, really a sweet job. Now that I'm more schooled on the Hydroboost, I appreciate the work and the appearance of your install.
But, I have to say something about your tee, for the return back to the PS pump. My kit from Tallon was also designed for a tee'd return, but because of the addition of a cooler, I opted for a dual return pump. Anyways, Tallon specifically instructed, that the straight thru path of that Tee must be from booster return back to the PS pump, and the perpendicular part of the tee gets the connection to the return line from the steering gear unit. If not, you will get hard steering at low speed braking, like maneuvering in a parking lot. This could also lead to overheating of the fluid, and/or loss of power steering.
It must be a big deal, as Tallon had a whole page dedicated just to the installation of the tee. Also, in the troubleshooting section, seems 30% of possible faults pointed to tee placement and orientation. They said, place tee fitting within the first 3" of the return stem back to the pump, to minimize back pressure of the fluid flow.
Not tying to be a downer or a "HB know it all", LOL, just trying to help avoid possible faults later on.
EDIT- MKnittle's install is correct. Double checked the instructions. See post # 1239

Sorry Mark, my bad. You're plumbing is correct. Attached are the instructions of the Tee orientation from Tallion's instructions. The second pic, with the big X, meaning DO NOT DO, is where I got confused.
I should've known better than to question/doubt the Master Fabricator!!!
I'm going to put an edit on my reply, so no one heeds my nonsense later on

I must say that looks really good. Also I now see how hydro boost is plumb. That's one of the best pics of it that I've seen so far. Still reading about it though. Gotta a lot to learn

The only critical thing is if you pull the pushrod it needs to be done off the socket that the ball on the rod rides in.
post 756 is the puller I made to do mine.

the next few pages have more details on the way I did mine.
The reverse rotation steering gear caused the biggest "NOW WHAT?" for my set up.

When do you think you'll be heading to the Rocklin PnP next, Mark? Let me know, n I'll tag along. Don't really need anything, but you never know. I'll bring along a pair of linesmans pliers. That ought to be all I'll need for tools, right? Maybe even a left handed crescent wrench?
