I parked my truck tonight and going to start removing the sheet metal so while it's apart, I will change it out if needed.
I have been told, but is un-verifed that if you have P/S and running with the larger balancer than you need a different style P/S pump cradle, the mount that the pump swivels in.
The original style is the type that bolts on with short bolts, approx. 3/4"
The other one uses approx. 2 1/2" bolts.
The one with longer bolts give you more clearance.
