New venture gear was a garbage company, why Chrysler EVER went with them is mind boggling, had to have been cost savings, considering that years of using Gertrag's beforehand (that were absolutely bulletproof) were left behind in favor of NVG. There's a reason NVG is no longer a company, and a big part of it is that they were crap. The T850 in the SRT4 remains a mess 20 years later, the one weak link on the drivetrain.

I appreciate your video, but I would like to make a clarification, reading on the Internet and many websites that touch on the topic of a “NERVOUS” address and it makes me ask: To all of you who had this feeling, bothered to put the scanner or take it to a workshop, enter the PASSLOCK / EVO MODULE and read DTCs or review the data flow, and see if the steering wheel position or steering angle sensor is Good??? Maybe you already have a section of the track damaged and when you turn the steering wheel the potentiometer reading is lost and that is when the evo system fails and gives that sensation on the steering wheel. Called nervous or inconsistent??? A few years ago I acquired a suburban 98 6.5l and I noticed that fault, the truth is I didn't notice much difference, but what I do know, is that the evo system requires the speedometer signal and APPROXIMATELY from 20 miles at 40mhp the evo commands to close the flow by 25%, from 40 to 60 miles it commands to close 50% and I think that above that speed it commands 75 % obstruction by the EVO, the passlock/evo module monitors the current applied to the solenoid, it should not exceed 1.5A, who knows if the PASSLOCK module was damaged because of the EVO, another problem with these cars, I wish it were as easy as remove a fuse, but they come together, one fails, the other fails. I was lucky a few years ago when this module originally cost me 64dlls. Good heavens!!! If I had known years ago, I would not have repaired the steering wheel sensor, it would have been better to invest GM#19168825, Now I am preparing to replace the hydraulic steering pump and although my system It's okay, I could reinstall the EVO system (although I never felt a difference, who knows if it was due to my old worn out pump) I'm going to think about the future, I SUPPOSE that by reducing flow the pump works harder (+ fuel consumption) but the valve activates relief (although they say that internally at high rpm an internal bypass is activated), the oil temperature rises. No thanks, I prefer a durable system and a smooth steering wheel, it just means learning that on uneven or high-speed roads you should not make sudden turns and hold the steering wheel firmly. I don't know what you think, if everything was fine they would keep it or there are things that GM would not have to modify, it would be better to adapt modern technologies such as ELECTROMECHANICAL steering Feel free to give your opinion, greetings
