Power steering

[Kealhofer1@bellsouth]

I have a power steering pump that needs to be replaced. What should I replace it with? I want a good one that won't leak and will turn 36" tires.

I've used my stock pump with big tires for years...but I hardly do trails and never rock crawl. More of a mudder.

I highly recommend a x-over steering conversion to eliminate a ton of headaches that comes with larger tires and steering. I have yet to do it to mine, but I'm getting to it The best part about doing it to these older fords, is it's cake - all you need is the passenger side flat arm and drag link w/ends. The stock pitman arm can be used so you dont have to buy it.

Mine is the one with the skinny neck. I had one like it on my 1974 Bronco and it was a piece of shoot. I see the ones with the wide neck and the plastic cap that I was wondering if it was better. I know some of the bronco guys went with another one, but I don't remember which one.

That's just the reservoir...doesn't mean jack cause I think the pumps were the same...

This is supposed to work. Saginaw pump swap.
