Toyota 5FG30

Does anyone know how to increase the power steering pressure in this truck?
The main pressure hose from the hydraulic pump goes to the control valve and from there feeds the brake master cylinder then to the steering gear.
There are 2 relief valves on top of the control valve but they don't seem to affect the power steering pressure.

Are you having steering problems? Are the pressures to the steer cylinder below specs?

Not sure about this specific truck, but in most trucks, the pressure in the steering circuit is regulated by the pressure valve in the steering unit. The two relief valves on the main control valve regulate the pressure in the hydraulic circuit.
But what is the reason you want to increase the pressure? Is it because of a gradual loss of pressure? In that case, the sollution to your problem would probably to replace the steering unit
