@@taraaaron1242 not really. It’s not difficult, just a bit laborious . I made a mistake that cost me some time - you don’t have to unmount the steering pump.
This looks like an interesting product. FIt and fitment is the primary concern given the wide variety of bumpers/winch combos. I'd eventually like to see a video/opinion with a stock rubicon bumper/warn winch set up. Tolerances are tight as it is. Although the product install looks straight forward, the cooler placement is of some concern especially with factory sway bar disconnect/etc. At about $400 it's a bargain compared to the PSC setup. I will be waiting to see an offroad eval and see how it holds up.
Right. I am thinking of going with the Evo Quarter Pounder and flipping my Sway Bar disconnect. Not sure if this would still fit. If I knew it would, I would purchase both today.
Braided lines do dissipate heat better than rubber. That said, the Apex cooler is awesome and more than adequate to cool your power steering fluid in even the most severe conditions.
The only real specialty tools need for this one was the inch-lb torque wrench. You can usually rent, beg or borrow one from your local big box auto parts store.
Anybody know why Northridge discontinued this product? It's for sale elsewhere, but I'm just curious if there was something that happened and became a faulty issue or something..
installed this on a 2020 gladiator with 40's and it works awesome!! only question is the pump seems to be whining now. Anyone have any advice on that? Thanks!
Can they make the replacement prt on the ++ upgrade hve 1 n2 two springs option, that way 1 spring handles ok but 2 lines even better. That way more oil still, & more cooling double size & if u lost a line/side u could isolate the leaking line.
Does your pump scream like hell now? I can hear mine under 50 mph. Filled it up like you did in the video, pressure it dead nuts in the center of the green, and the reservoir is full. No leaks and the steering is butter but the pump is screaming like hell.
@@turboleggy no still whines but not as loud. I notice it more wheb sitting beside another car in a drive thrpugh line. Steering is butter smooth though.
@camerongreen3138 nice. I want the steering to feel more responsive. Does it help with that? Mine is sloppy, and there is a dead spot feeling near the top center. I'm hoping a geometry correction helps that.
@@turboleggy i dont know if it will help with responsiveness. I came from GM trucks to the Jeep world and the Jeep steering is 1000x better than the GM steering. My biggest reason for the Apex kit was to steer 37s in the rocks without having to go full hydro.
bigger reservoir steering bottle would b an easy upgrade as well. Hve 2 separate fill bottles instead of 1. Then if bottle is bigger & u can switch from bottle 1 to using bottle 2 u can allow cooling time on the oil of A while running B bottle w/turn of valve lever.
God, at a min this should b an installed prt just give factory a fair rate on the special patent prt if there is a patent new idea or service. If not a new idea then again give factory a good bulk prt price. No rubicon should b sold w/out PSC steering system.
