Curious if anyone has any insight on an 8030 fwa that I have. Was filling in a trench and dropped front tire in, steered out and now I have very stiff power steering. I changed filters and checked pressure at cylinder and only have 820psi with hoses hooked together and left turn. Book says it should be 1800-2000 when checking steering relief valve pressure. What would be next thing to check from this point. Thanks in advance

Hoses must be plugged to test relief, not connected together. Place the gauge on the end of one hose at a time and steer it to see what relief pressure is.
