Danno said:Thanks, that was exactly what I need for info. Now, with what you said about needing an orbital valve...what about this one? Or got any better suggestions? It looks like it might need a bigger pump!? The 3" ram looks like the ticket with what you described. now need to choose an orbital valve.

On my rock crawler I'm going full hydro but on my XJ it will just be an assist. The rock crawler is what I'm buying for now. Thanks VERY much for the info and advice. Danno
I would go with a bigger diplacement - with the 9.7 you are at 5 or 6 turns lock to lock
try to get into the teens 14, 17 or even the 23 cu"/rev would be my choice

PS looking back at the numbers either the 14 or 17 would be the best choice - the 23 would give 2.5 turns lock to lock
Make sure these are open center valves!!!! PS pump will be bypassing all the time with a closed center valve
Plus this guy: - (any charlynn 211-XXXX series should work ok - open center, non-load reactive)
