Several years ago when I dealt with a Jeep with hydro assist, there was a problem with the volume of the reservoir on the PS pump. Unlike the stock system, the volume of fluid in the system varies with the position of the hydraulic piston, due to the volume displaced by the rod in the cylinder. At one extreme, there was practically zero in the reservoir, while at the other extreme the fluid was puking out the cap.
Who has experience with this and has found a good solution? I am running a 1.5" piston with 8" throw. My rig is an early Renix running a stock pump on a Dakota box with a D44.
Is there a better pump (storage volume/flow rate) that fits with minimal hassle? While I have all the tools to do virtually any modification, I do not have the time.
