First best wishes for the New Year!!

I have a 98 5.9 4x4 , for two years my steering pump quit working( the splines break off the shaft) and I replaced it with one from a junkyard.

Now I broke this one also I have not checked it what is broke but it isn't working anymore, it start with wining and heavy steering and it stopped whining and working now.

For a half year I have changed the steeringbox after a leaking seal including the trackbar, and everything involved with the steering, I placed also a steeringstabilezer from Thuren.

Now I want to buy an rebuild pump from Rockauto or a pump from PSC but I am not sure what to do.

Wich brand must I choose, The PSC, A1 cardone or ACDelco?

Must I choose with or without a reservoir?

Is it easy to get the pump out of my old reservoir?

I have a pulley removal tool, so that can be done.

Thanks for all the help and info!

Greetings,


Erik.

 

first off.... how big are your tires?! and second... what kinda driving do you do the breaks your steering pump?

 

I broke my pump when I was off roading. The pump seized and the new serpentine belt said "screw you pump" (litterally lol) I heard this whine and the belt sheared the shaft clean off inside the pump. I swap'd mine for a junkyard pump too, till she started getting noisy and ended up getting a cardone pump with resivour. Still working for me. For the price difference, go with "with resivor" and if it asks you do not need the filter jobber. Wish you luck

 

Hello,

I have stock tires and it happend when I was cornering..and I hit nothing...

I have bought an A1 without the reservoir because it hase a core from 50,-

Because I am living in Europe the shipping cost me more to ship it back then the core....

Thanks and greetings,


Erik.

 

Did you flush the whole system when you replaced it? Pretty important either way, but more so if you just do the pump.

 

Hello Zman17,

Yes I flushed the system with Royal purple..

Now i want to use ATF+4

Thanks and greetings,


Erik.

 

I just had a nightmare with an A1-Cardone steering box. (long story) I would suggest trying to get another brand.
