Replacing the elect steering pump on a Diesel

[JT1]

I really didn't want Ridge Grapplers again and I mounted a set of 37x12/50 RT Pros on a client build a couple weeks ago. They seem to measure about 1" narrower than equivalent sidewall marked sizes, but balanced really easy, rolled round on the balancer, and were quiet of being a bit agressive?

The 37x12.50 RT's tread measured 1" narrower than my 38x12.50 Grappys and these 11.50's measure 1" narrower than the 37x12.50's I would call these a 38x10.50 I'm nervous they might be wiggly while towing?

Interesting. How tall are the 37s once on the jeep?

They were actually disapoining for a Toyo/Nitto 37. I measured 35.7" in diameter and rolled on the ground same in circumference for speedo calibration. I would call the RT Pro 37x12.50 more of an actual 36x11.50

It wasn't horrible, just al lot of work on these late model machines where everything is a tight fit. Could have been that I spent the entire day (Thanksgiving day) at work doing the job because I was so busy at that time.

I personally didn't like the road feel because it was so light steering, but he commented on how my steering felt hard when I let him take the new diesel for a spin. You can adapt and get used to anything I suppose?

I was thinking about doing my own brew with a really small ram to maintain my steering feel, but then Apex released the through shaft kit and thought maybe it would be a good fit. I seriously doubt I will ever get to it on my rig since I don't physically feel like installing it and don't have anyone I would trust to handle it for me?

I also have some 38x11.50 Toyo RT Pro's (that measure more like a 10.50) that are going on and I suspect they will relieve some steering load vs my 38x12.50's

Makes sense. Thanks.
