So I’m redoing my whole front end 1997 dodge Ram 1500.
theurin track bar
synergy t style replacement
blue top gear box

i know we will all have different opinions on some that but I already pulled the trigger . So that shop has sailed lol.

my question is I’m going to put a new pump on as well ….any good Brands suggested.
sounds like none of work or any good lol.
give me thought. Never even heard of half of them anymore….lares?? And so one

 

The parts store pumps are REALLY hit and miss.... I went thru THREE before I got one that would actually put out some pressure, and that one howled like a banshee...... Good ones? That is a VERY good question....

 

Could always rebuild:

 

I have never really had much success with that. Getting that o-ring to seal around the pump has always defeated me.

 

Was thinking BBB….

also any one advise power steering pump filter or any pictures of how and where they installed .
never even thought of it until buying blue top gear box

 

And I didn’t know if I rebuild would help.not really leaking howls a little bit. Might even be better then buying new junk.

I thought re builds are mostly seals. Think the pump seen better days

 

I have rarely seen a filter on power steering... only on really high-end luxury cars... (mercedes, bmw, et al.) Considering most p/s system go decades with barely any maintenance, and continue to work perfectly fine, I think it's just an added expense/complication that isn't really necessary.

 

Cool thanks hey you.
now to re build or gamble on a new pump.

I suppose alot of the horror stories I heard about pumps where people buying remanufactured ones

 

If you could find one new, or remanned by Delco, that would likely be a good gamble.

 

I'm on my third or fourth pump (can't remember). It's a new one from rockauto (can't remember brand) but it's the aluminum/silver body one. It whines pretty bad. I've flushed it and bled it about 2 dozen times over 3 years. Whatever. I hate replacing them.

If yours doesn't make noise and operates fine now, I wouldn't bother with it. Replace everything else and see how that works first. Otherwise you'll be chasing your tail figuring out a problem that could be several sources. All of my pumps worked and operated exactly the same. Even the new one did nothing better.
