I'm having issues getting my powersteering to work. At idle I have some chatters and kinda works. When bringing truck off idle ps is gone. I used the 72 gm box and the 91 dodge pump. I adapted the two with braided line and an fittings. I think it was -6 for ps pressure (braided with plastic liner)

Do you think the line is to small? Both trucks worked great before tear down.
