Hi All, Quick update, I just hit 522 miles on the EVC Jeep - Volvo power steering pump and Saganaw knuckle are working SOOO much better then I ever thought they would, NOT a single problem yet. I'll check back in if anything explodes or stops working. - Patrick

I had never heard about it until recently either! Yeah, it's very cool tech - if you dive a bit deeper, or perhaps you already did, there's a group that's already deciphered the CAN signals (mostly) so it's even more useful if you know how to speak CAN... AND, readily available - I just did a...

Also, they are both about the same price so it doesn't make sense to add something if one component will serve multiple purposes.

Oh, got it. I see the logic of the question now. No, I doubt it has the extra pressure to donate to another component. Besides, in an EVC, using an iBooster has added benefits for regen and general sensors i need info from already built I to the iBooster. For example, I can get rid of the...

WAIT, did I answer that wrong - sorry. Maybe I don't understand what you mean - can you explain please. Sorry if I misunderstood you.

YES, and there's nothing wrong with that more simple version but, I chose the Volvo for several reasons: it's all in one and is SOOOO much quitter then any vacuum pump, it's cheap, I think Volvo has a couple million of them and they are just on of the companies that use this, it's very...

I'm going to mention one more thing about a repower to electric that might be the ONLY reason for some of you - torque. Electric motors generate 100% of their torque at 1 RPM. That's right, you get to 'live' in your power band at all times, at all speeds, even on Wednesdays. Let's make a...

Really, you're equating the price of a repower to the price of gas at the pump - what? You know this is a Jeep forum - right??? (joke) Quick show of hands: who bought their Jeep to get good MPG? In fact, most if not all the things we can bolt onto or add to or swap into our collective Jeeps...

First, I'm just a visitor to your site, I always wanted a Scrambler but never wanted to deal with that little motor it came with and they were always more expensive then the CJ's I was buying. So, remember, I'm must a visitor here but, having dealt with this kind of blanket and somewhat...

Thought you guys might like to hear how the pump worked out - just listen for yourself, this is my first night drive in my all electric 1984 Jeep CJ-7. I can barely hear it and I'm SURE, with the hood on, nobody would hear anything.

Mosltly correct - for example, the battery modules I use are all Tesla but to use them, I remove the Tesla BMS from each module and connect a pass-through connector so I can run all the modules to a central Orion 2 BMS. As for that, everything you need to know can be dealt with via Orion BMS -...

Oh, A Flushing We Shall Go, A Flushing We Shall Go.... - come on, everyone, join in, you know the lyrics! Flushed, drained, fill, repeat x 3 - super fun. I think the biggest surprise was that the blue catch bucket had a crack in it and leaked all over the **** place... Ok, and maybe that...

I wish I could agree with any of those points - all sounds good, none are real, never happen, stop, stop, stop. (most of that was a man flashing back on the past 3 years and making that assumption every four or five seconds) There are virtually no reusable parts from a junk EV that you can...

Really - tough crowd, tough crowd.

I was posting this and the thread closed so as per the last reply, here's the update: Quick update, it's a good one, got it driving and I assume, given the amount of run time the pump has had, it's running pretty great! Here's a driving video of the first Jeep CJ-7 Fully Electric Conversion...

You take it correct - I'm having a problem with the test drive - it's seems to be doing a huge current draw but the motor doesn't move the vehicle much at all. So, can't move the steering wheel back and forth because something's killing it's draw also. As soon as I get that fixed, I'll pull...

VERY used rack, 1982ish. Haven't drained it yet, still fighting a forward-motion gremlin...

Yep, I'll do that exact thing. THANKS. I'll report back when the fluid looks less like sludge.

Wait, found it, or at least a big part of it - no fluid. It must have taken a huge gulp that was eaten by the steering knuckle and sent none back through the return - hence the hose was clean. Looking in the pump, it was empty. Added to full line, ran it, back and forth - absolutely can feel...
