Somebody fixed that problem with a bigger pulley on the pump.

wouldnt that make it turn even slower?

either way, revving the engine does nothing so faster pump rpm doesnt help. the box is just not strong enough for anything but car sized tires.

i have had mine installed for a year now. went through a few pumps as that is what was to blame according to CPP. i even researched how to bump up the pumps pressure and even at max it wouldnt turn at a stop.

that said, i am used to it and having to roll the slightest bit before i can turn isnt a big deal. i am still happy i bought it as i live in a heavily populated area and it makes going anywhere possible. i just wish they would state the problem. especially after all this time so their customers arent frustrated and wasting their time installing several pumps.

One problem is that I need the truck inspected so I can register it and change the title it wont pass with steering like this .second is it needs to be fixed or taken off the market
