JH Diesel Flipped His MegaTruck Into Cleetus' Pond...Now We See If It Runs! (6.0 Powerstroke)

What happens here

The hydraulic steering system is inspected, revealing that fittings on the steering ram broke off during the truck's recovery from the pond. This damage rendered the hydraulic steering inoperable, as there was no mechanical linkage. The broken fittings are pulled out and replaced, rather than requiring an entirely new steering ram, which is noted as a cost-saving outcome. This repair ensures the steering system is functional again before attempting to move the truck.

Goal: Restore functionality to the hydraulic steering system.

yeah it stays on so i'm not sure what's going on there these were the fittings that broke off when we were towing it back they broke off the ram and then the ram could steer anymore because there's no mechanical linkage to this it's all hydraulic but he had the fittings pulled out and replaced didn't have to buy a new ram so that's good all right what's your prediction
