I will check out his section again.

it is a 1.5x 6 x 1 ram
max pressure is 3000 psi.
ok.. just thinking about it they give it 5000 lbs force one way and 3000 the other. not sure of why the difference.

so the force must be using the 3000 max.

Why would there be a difference? it is actually pushing both ways. oh.. duh, the rod takes up area of force, on the one side. (the DUH light came on).

also I may have bought the wrong fitting for the toyota hole. I got the 90 1/4 npt to female 1/4. I am don't know if there is room to turn it into the steering box. so may have to get some different fittings.

thanks for the information.
