I have a 94 b2300 4 cyl 5 speed with man steering and was wondering how hard it is to convert it to power steering, this thing does not steer very good, I'm a giant man and almost in the steering wheel as it is so power steering would be a plus, any advise would be greatly app.

Did you get anywhere with this? I have the same truck and want to do the same thing. I'd really, really appreciate any info you would be willing to pass on.

I recently removed a complete ps setup on a 96 Ranger and installed the manual gearbox from an 88 Ranger...had to do a slight mod on the steering wheel shaft but otherwise everything bolted in...

If you're in Canada I actually have the entire ps setup for sale on Kijiji...no bites yet...maybe my price is too high...but I'm sure I will sell it...

Why would you swap in a manual box if the power unit worked ? At most it only uses a few HP. To the OP, I would grease every Zerks fitting you can find . IIRC the Rat has 6

The ps was leaking and I needed to get at a bolt on the side of the engine (ground)...the previous owner even gave me a new reservoir and used ps gearbox that was supposed to have been tested by someone.

I just spent two years leaking oil all over the driveway and it was hard enough cleaning that up...I know ps fluid isn't the same but still nasty stuff...and landlords do not like drippy vehicles...
