Power steering pump
#1
My power steering seems to be not so powerful. I recently installed the red neck ram and the pump seems to struggle some. Any bright ideas, or maybe a new pump.

is it a saginaw? if so, you can bump the pressure and volume...makes it better. check out west texas offroad for the write up. I've done the mods on a couple of pumps before.

if it's not a saginaw, then get one.

Carl - I've got a sag pump that I bought off of Blane (rednck21) before I decided to go with the explorer serp. set-up. I don't remember how much I paid him but it's yours if you want it. It's got the dual return on it, but no bracket or cap.

I will take it. I want to see if it helps my situation. I almost called those guys today to ask about their pump. Send me a pm with your address and I will send you the cash.

thanks

When i did the explorer swap on my front end (engine) the pump worked really well until my crappy old fitting blew out 2 years ago on the trail with chuck. Still havent fixed it but I have a good excuse. i had the saginaw prior to that and i was every pleased. also had WTOF overhaul my box as well.
