Re: Wanted Powersteering Pump
Or does anyone know the G.M. part No., someone must know this. I just can't justify $400.00 for a new Merc one.
Thanks,

Re: Wanted Powersteering Pump
Do a search on this subject.
I did and got a Napa part #.
It cost me $58.00 Canadian and works perfect.
Or just go to Napa and ask for a mid 90's truck pump off a 454.

Re: Wanted Powersteering Pump
I also used the NAPA pump. I just bought the pump and used my old reservoir. I did this because the mating bolts and brackets are on the reservoir I did not want to take a chance that it would not line up. Make sure you check the threads. The only difference in years is that older ones use US threads newer ones are metric.

Thanks guys, I found out I could just buy the pump and reuse my old reservoir. (AutoZone $31.99 lifetime warranty)
Thanks,

Or you can by the rebuild kit from NAPA and spend an additional 15 min and know how it is rebuilt. Lifetime warranty means nothing. You just pay more for the same part and they will keep replacing it as long as you are willing to keep changing it.

Re: Wanted Powersteering Pump
Not just a swap out. You will need to re-use your pulley and in some cases the tank. Most parts stores will have some loaner tools so you can borrow a power steering pulley puller. Once you have the pulley off it is very easy to rebuild the pump yourself. When you reinstall the pulley, you need to make sure it is installed to the right depth so it lines up correctly with the other accessories to keep from throwing the belts. Once it is installed, just fill with fluid and start up engine and turn back and forth, while keeping fluid at approiate level, to bleed system.
