Post by: solid 12 on April 22, 2011, 09:14:18 PM

I am wondering what would be the better way to go with for a pump..right now i have the smaller power steering pump with an external resevior, but i was told i could use an electric pump off of a fork truck..i have never ran hydro steering and know nothing about it so any help would be great! I plan on buying a 120 amp alternator either way and i was told i would need to run 2 batterys if i go with the electric pump..

Thanks
